She was born on January 5, 1927, in Estill Springs, Tennessee, the second-oldest child in a family of six children, born to Robert Walton and Mary Ollie Rogers. Norma moved to Fort Wayne after high school with an aunt and uncle for work opportunities. It was there that she met and married Richard Shenfeld, Sr., on July 13, 1946. They then had four children, which consisted of three boys and one girl. Norma was a homemaker for several years before going to work at Sears and Roebuck as a manager in the catalog department. After 53 years of marriage, Richard Sr., preceded her in death on February 24, 2000.
