She met her husband, John Norrell, in high school, and they married in 1953. She was a loving and devoted wife to John and mother to their six children. She worked as an administrative assistant and volunteered as a poll worker for many years before she retired. She loved spending time with her family, cherished pets, music, and dancing.
