I have many good memories of aunt Norm and uncle Bern, both very welcoming and loving!! Two of my memories of her, she made my first born, Danny a crocheted outfit all in white, ( I still have it! ) And for my 2nd baby, Dar, she bought a bunch of lil girl outfits since you didn’t have a shower for 2 nd babies back then.
Much love too the family.
Until we meet again💕
Hooker and Barbara Peck
Norma is my first and dearest sister in-law. She gave us our first nephews with Kenny & Kevin. Always a beautiful and welcoming soul who greeted all she met with love and kindness. Norm and Bern were the first to take us Peck kids on camping and fishing picnics. As young as I was, 5 or 6 at the time, I was more interested in the bake goods Norma made than I was in fishing. And much later on another camping trip, together Norm & Bern gave me my first driving lesson at Trap Pond, not many take on that challenge! Norma was loved and will be missed by all. R.I.P. All our love, Hooker

Norma was one of the most pleasant people I have ever met.
Joy in her eyes and love in her heart. She lived her life as the example of how we should treat others.
Always welcoming, kind and understanding. This truly was a woman of devout faith.
So many memories of special Christmas and holiday gatherings. Always a house full in Minquadale! In the 70’s, many fond and fun memories of our visits to Mocanaqua, PA. That’s where Norma first introduced me to her famous Watergate Cake. I still have some of her hand written recipes and will always cherish them. I had married into the Peck family, marrying Bernard’s little brother, Hooker and never felt like a in-law but part of their family. I will always be grateful to Bern and Norma for that privilege. Rest in Peace and Love with your Lord now Norma and watch over us. Until we all see each other again. Love, Barbara
