We will always remember playing Scrabble with Aunt Norma and the hospitality she provided us while staying at her Skyline address. I will also cherish Grundy Lake camping trip memories orchestrated by Aunt Norma & Uncle Joe which forged our bond early on. Rest in peace, & deepest sympathy to cousin Steven & family!🙏💕 Lynne

I was blessed from the beginning to have found such a wonderful mother in-law . She was loving, witty and smart till the end . I have many great memories of family dinners, bulk baking ,weddings, travel and babysitting our kids for weeks ! She was best grandma and loved each of her grandchildren unconditionally. She never turned that time down , she just loved seeing them and the longer the visits the better.
Since you've come to Calgary I have been able to reconnect with you and it brought me great pleasure to have you near . We were able to chat ,reminisce and laugh ... with a little glass of wine ! I will cherish this. Selfishly I wanted you to be around a little longer. I love you and may you rest in peace lovely lady. Finally , your long awaited reunion with Jo has come . BTW .... Norma you got the last laugh !

Norma Martin will be missed. Having known her since 1965. Norma has been the rock on Skyline Drive where she lived when the Kerpis family moved a few doors away 50+ years ago. I had the pleasure of knowing this incredible family and guidance from Mrs. Martin as my 1st grade teacher. I thank her for all the support she has given us over the years. May god bless you.
