It is with great sadness that the family of Kay Ruth Norton (Ladner) announces her unexpected passing on Wednesday, March 21, 2018 at the young age of 86. She was born on March 9, 1932 in Lakeshore, Mississippi. She was very proud of her southern roots and loved to tell stories of her childhood. She moved to Chandler, Arizona with her husband in 1956 and was a proud resident ever since. She was a devout Christian and never doubted her faith. Her family was her passion. She loved being a wife, mom, grandma, and great-grandma. Everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her, loved her.
She is survived by her husband Robert Norton Sr., her children Robert Jr., Lynn, Dale (Heather), and Margaret/Meg (Bill) Nollsch, 5 grandchildren, and 4 (soon to be 5) great-grandchildren as well as many other grieving family members and close friends.
