Norma worked in various clerical positions throughout her career at Sothman Lumber Company, the Cornhusker Army Ammunition Plant, the City of Grand Island, and she retired from Norwest Bank in 1990. She was an accomplished soloist and a member of the St. Paul’s Lutheran Church Choir for 54 years. Norma was widely known throughout the community as a favorite soloist for numerous funerals over the years. Her heavenly alto voice provided comfort for many grieving families for decades. Norma and Lyle were members of the Platt-Duetsche Society for many years where they enjoyed dancing and socializing with friends and family. Norma also enjoyed playing cards for many years in her card club with her closest lifelong friends, and she was also a member of Grand Island City Singers. Surviving family members include a brother, Gordon (Marlene) McMullen of Upland, CA, and sons: David (Wahoo, NE), Steven (Council Bluffs, IA), and Scott (Gina) Woods (Grand Island, NE). Grandchildren include: Randy (Michelle) Woods of Omaha, Katie (Tom) Jeffrey of Lincoln, Susan (Justin) Gripp of Lincoln, Mallory & Megan Woods of Omaha, and Gracie Woods of Grand Island. Greatgrandchildren include: Taylor & Skylar Woods of Omaha, Alyssa & Brynn Jeffrey of Lincoln, and Clara Gripp of Lincoln. She was preceded in death by her parents, a brother, James McMullen, and her husband, Lyle. Special thank you for the wonderful caregivers at Brookefield Park.
