Because of Paul’s career, Norma and Paul moved several times while their children were growing up. They started in Beloit, WI, then Bloomington, IL and Elmhurst, IL, and Paul finished his career in Iowa City, IA. In their retirement they moved to a lake home in Minocqua, Wisconsin for 15 years. Norma was primarily a homemaker but also volunteered in many community activities and belonged to several service clubs. She and Paul enjoyed dinner theatres and had many good times in their Play Readers group. Norma and Paul also enjoyed house boating on the Mississippi River, traveling around the US in their motor home, and attending Elder Hostels around the country. Norma was an active outdoor person and especially loved tennis and played into her seventies. Norma was extremely proud of her home state of Wisconsin and was an avid Badger and Packer fan all her life!
