She was born October 12, 1923 in Oakley, Idaho to Lewis Robert & Zella Irene Critchfield. She was the third child out of eleven, 5 boys and 6 girls.
After high school, Norma attended the LDS Business College in Salt Lake City. While a student, she had the opportunity of working as a secretary for Adam S. Bennion and John Widstoe at the LDS church offices. Shortly after college graduation, Norma was called to serve an LDS mission in the North States Central Mission, where she met her sweetheart Grant. They were married on March 16, 1949 in the Salt Lake Temple.
Norma was an incredible woman who was an influence in so many lives and in so many ways. She was a great missionary and spent her life in the service of the Lord.
Norma and Grant had four children, 2 boys and 2 girls, Lane (Marylynne), Brad (Valerie), Pam Moses (Merrill) and Shawna Farnsworth (Dave). Norma was always so proud of her children and would often say they were her pride and joy. She had 18 grandchildren, 42 great grandchildren and 5 more great grandchildren coming. She was one week away from her 91st birthday.
She was preceded in death by her sweetheart Grant, parents, four sisters and one brother.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, October 10, 2014 at the Idaho Fall LDS Parley Ward, 2055 Coronado, with Bishop Ken Bateman Officiating. The family will visit with friends Thursday from 6-8:00 p.m. at Wood Funeral Home East Side, 963 S. Ammon, and Friday from 10-10:45 a.m. at the church. Burial will in the Archer-Sutton Cemetery.
Our deepest gratitude for the compassionate employees at Willow Wood Rehab Center in Salt Lake City, where they lovingly cared for Norma the last few weeks of her life.
