Norie’s home was always open for women’s bible study, grandkid sleepovers or just visiting. She had a warm cup of coffee for the adults and a freezer full of pushups, ice cream cones and pizzas for the kids. Norie always said that her biggest blessing was her family. She loved crowded Christmas Eve dinners and Friday pizza nights at her home. She loved the sound of her grandbabies having fun.
