From Indiana, they moved to Union City, Tennessee, then to Des Moines, Iowa, and then they retired in 1995 to Collierville.
While raising three children, she worked as a piano teacher and served as a church organist in several churches. Norma was very active in the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA), serving as an officer at the local, state and national level. She also served multiple terms on the Board of Concerned Women for America (CWA). Wherever she and Bob lived, Norma was always active in her church and had a profound influence on the faith of her family and friends.
