'I was another of Mrs. Nortons students - in 1972-4. Her classes were unbelievable. I missed making the murals but I had more unique, positive experiences in her classes than in any other classes Ive ever taken. I was searching for her on the internet and was saddened to find she had passed - but her legacy lives on!'

'Ms. Norton was my art teacher at Pat Neff Jr. High School in 7th & 8th grades, 1970-72.
I was thinking about her this morning and decided to try to see if her art work was noted on the internet somewhere. Sadly, this obit is what I found. 
Although I am late, I want to extend my condolences to her family. She was my favorite teacher. She gave me my educational foundation in art. 
She let me be one of her helpers at what she called her "first one-man art show." She gave me a small framed print that she also signed in thanks and as a memory of the event. I have attached a photo of that little print and a photo of us together at the show. 
I will always love her.

'Through her job as Pat Neff school librarian, my mother, Bo Green and Ann formed an enduring friendship. Their friendship enriched the lives of me and my siblings, Joe and Paula. I am very impressed with Ann's art, especially the magnificent hooked rug of a rising ocean wave she designed and executed! I keep her pen and ink Christmas cards, and continue to enjoy her seaside drawings which adorn our hallway. Ever helpful and enthused about other people's desires, Ann loaned me a huge travel trunk for the year I was studying in Europe! My family and I were fortunate to have Ann in our lives. Love to you Karla, and your family.'

'Ann was one of my mother's best friends. Mother, Bo Green, and Ann taught together at Pat Neff. The friendship that started there in 1964 carried on until Bo's passing in 2005. Ann was not only a good friend, but also a mentor to my wife, Judy. Ann shared her lesson plans, ideas, and books to get Judy off to a good start as an art teacher. We are privileged to have some of Ann's paintings in our home to remind us daily of her kind spirit. Ann was truly an inspiration for all. In sympathy, Joe & Judy Green, Marble Falls'

'Dear Karla and Family - So sad to hear about your loss. I was one of your mother's students in 1967 and 1968. Every day it was my privilege to come to school early to make the paste that held tiles to the kraft paper backing of the murals. Of course, it was a joy to work on any aspect of the murals, but I was very proud to put together the face of the longhorn (Even went to UT later. A coincidence? I don't think so.) Your mom was an inspiration to all. Many years after graduation, I came back to San Antonio and met with your mom to tell her what an impact she had on my life. She deserves all accolades that many have expressed. We all miss her.'

'Karla, was just thinking about your mom, and found out she passed after an internet church. What a wonderful and sweet woman. Sending thoughts and prayers. Cynthia Southern Kinney'

'I was just looking at those particular murals. I remember working on them in Art class. Great teache. Thank you for the memories.Linda Flores Fischer'

'Mrs. Norton was one of the most influential people in my life. At 62 my friends and I still talk about how lucky we were to have had her as our teacher. She had faith in us. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. RIP'

'Mrs. Norton was my art teacher during 1967-1968 at Pat Neff. I still remember working on the longhorn steer tile mural with the class and her. Wonderful projects were her specialty. Her creative teachings were not lost on me, as I have been a practicing architect in Denver for 36 years, she is truly remembered and missed.'

'In Tribute & Memory of Ann Z. Norton

Remembering her Smile that warmed hearts.
Remembering her Eyes that reflected Happiness.
Remembering her Loving hugs & kisses.
Remembering her Voice and Laughter.
Remembering her Wealth of Wisdom & Knowledge.
Remembering her Strength & Faith facing Trails.
Remembering her Life & Love Empowers Us.'

'I had the pleasure of being in Mrs. Norton's classes in the late 60's. I've taken friends to Pat Neff to show them the amazing murals and can still point out my work. Her teachings cross my mind quite often and continue to instruct me when I look at art. Mrs. Norton has left such an enduring legacy. I know you are very proud of her. God bless her and your families.'

'JoLeta, sincere condolences on your loss of your sister. I tried to write you a message a little while ago, but it didn't post. Your San Antonio alum sisters want to know if we can still reach you at the P.O. Box in Port Aransas.'

'I'm so sorry to see Mrs. Norton's passing. I was one of the students blessed to have her as my art teacher and also one of her mosaic kids! I can still point out the exact section of the mural I worked on at Pat Neff. Mrs. Norton instilled a love of art that still burns bright in me today.'

'Ann Norton was a very important person in my life and the reason I became an Art teacher. One of the greatest honors I ever received is that she recommended that I replace her at Pat Neff when she left teaching. Those were mighty big shoes to fill. She was my teacher and mentor and I loved and respected her for her strength and spirit. May God bless her family and give them comfort.'

'I am very sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences to all the family.'

'Ann was a beautiful lady, full of vitality and love for everyone. Her love of art touched everyone. I will always remember when she bought one of my paintings for her granddaughter which was to become the first of her art collection. What a treasure to have her for a grandmother. And it was a treasure for us to have known and loved her for so many years. Her spirit will always be with us.

Our blessings go to Karla and all her wonderful family.
Love, Edith and Finis Collins'

'Mrs Norton was my art teacher at Pat Neff 54 years ago! She was a wonderful teacher. I am so very sorry for your loss.'
