Norma graduated from Hillsboro HS Class of 1958.  She was a cook for the Fairfield Community School district for 24 years.  Norma took much pride of her flower gardens and would spend countless hours making sure they looked just right.  Her perfection continued inside the house where she loved to decorate.  Some of her other indoor interests were reading, collecting books and doing crossword puzzle.  Norma loved her family and grandkids.  Nothing was more important than spending time with them.  She and Gerald attended The Church of the Nazarene, Fairfield.

She will be missed by her husband, Gerald of Fairfield; two children, Greg Manley of Mt Pleasant, IA and Shelly (Paul, “Thad”) Tray of Fairfield, IA; 3 grandchildren, Andrew Tray of Cedar Rapids, Jessi (Ben) Farthing of Dayton, OH and Morgan Manley of Danville, IA.

Norma was preceded in death by her parents, Willis and Ruby; and two sisters, Erma Brombaugh and Betty Thornton.
