Norma worked in the gift shop at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs for over 30 years and each Christmas became known as Ms. Claus. Customers got to know her by her first name and though she retired a few years ago, many remain in touch with her to this day. Norma quietly contributed to many organizations that help the poor, the afflicted and veterans. She loved spending time with her family, her fourteen grandchildren and could be seen each week playing bingo with family and friends.
