Norie loved nature especially bird watching. She enjoyed spending time in her garden attending to her tomatoes and flowers. Norie and Bill loved history and traveling. Whether by car, cruise ship, or tour bus, they explored all 50 states, much of the Caribbean, and the Panama Canal. Norie found joy in life. She enjoyed music, dancing with her beloved Bill, and reading. She eagerly opened her home to neighbors and family and rarely anyone came that didn’t leave without feeling loved and with a sweet treat.
