Norma was such a lovely lady. She always walked to have coffee with my mom, Alice Lichter, & Mary Paradeis back in the early 2000's. I loved joining these wonderful ladies while I lived there. Rest in peace, Norma! Mom will put the pot on for you!

Our thoughts and prayers to the entire Wilson family! I always loved stopping by Uncle Bob and Aunt Norma's home when we went to town! Loved the hours we spent traveling SD while singing and traveling with the band. Aunt Norma always had such good stories to tell and I always admired her elegance and grace even when she said she was in her "everyday" clothes ... you could never tell. Hugs to you all!

We send our condolences in the death of Norma Wilson. She was a sweet, lovely lady. We lost track of her after she left Mitchell, as we use to exchange Christmas cards until then. If we would have known she moved back to Mitchell to retire at the Avera Brady Hm, we could have visited her. May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you. We send our prayers all these days. ✝️

The loss of a mother can never be replaced, but the love of a mother can never be lost
