Sweet Norma was an amazing person. Her smile and kindness was so infectious. Rest in peace, dear friend.

Cindy and Denny Costello

Pafford family, it is with deep sadness that we send this message. We are so sorry for your loss. We became friends with Norma when she worked at the casino. She was never without a smile on her face and was a hard worker, no matter the situation. Bless her heart. We always asked for her section, and if she was full, we tracked her down before we left and slipped a little something in her pocket just for her!  We had many conversations regarding her family....she loved you all dearly! We were truly blessed to have known Norma. May she rest in peace.

Norma was the top walker for many years in the CROP Walk for Hunger here in Omaha.  National and local hunger agencies benefited from her efforts.  The local organizing committee thanks you very much!


Norma, your presence and smile will be missed as we pass the Kountze Nursery.  You took such great care of our baby and watched him grow.  You never forgot a name.  We will miss you until we are all reunited one day again.

Norma was such a special lady. She loved her family and was very excited about her two great grands that were due in December/January. She took such good care of hundreds of children in our church's nursery. Some didn't want to leave and go to the preschool room, and many came back and visited. I will always be grateful for her and David for taking such good care of my children. I'm sorry I can't make it to the funeral. Much love to you all.

Norma was a beautiful soul. She was strong and brave and cool. I looked up to her. She always made me laugh. It breaks my heart to know that the world has lost an amazing person but Heaven has gained a brilliant angel. I love you Norma

I was saddened to hear from her son, Tim, about Norma's passing.
Norma and I became friends while working at Harrah's Casino.  Noma always wore a smile as she issued funny and insightful bits of advice and encouragement.  I'll greatly miss those conversations as we all will miss Norma.  My deepest condolences to David, Tim, and all the Pofford families. 

To the Pafford family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. I worked in the church nursery with Norma for many many years. She was a wonderful lady and all the kids loved her . She will  be missed.   Marvin and Kris Olson

It means everything that you where here to see Cody when she was born and to have the time you did with her and I know you are in heaven with our angel Cody now. I love you Nana so so much.

Dearest Pafford Family. 
      Sorry for your loss.  Your mom was the best and loved her work at church in the nursery caring for Gods precious little ones.    RIP Norma.    Thoughts and Prayers
