Norma was born to Shirley and Ben Ficks. Norma was a devoted and caring wife to Myer in which they just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on June 18, 2012. Norma and Myer were inseparable, enjoying the same sports (golfing, baseball games, hockey games), travel, fine arts, and dining. You rarely saw one without the other. Whether it was walking in the park, or working out at the Reh-Fit , they were always there for each other in every way. Norma , being a fabulous cook and baker enjoyed cooking for her family and sharing stories, always making everyone smile with her infectious laugh and zest for life. She was involved with many organizations and charities and volunteered whenever she had the opportunity. She enjoyed the game of mah-jong and was an avid dog lover, enjoying time spent with each of her children's pets. Norma being very creative and talented, was also a gifted poet, having some of her poems published in the newspaper. Norma was also a devoted and caring mother and baba. Besides her husband Myer, she also leaves behind to mourn her, her daughter Randie (Stephen), and sons Jeff (Cydnee), and Lyle (Roberta), and grandchildren Harlyn (Jenny), Sadie, Justin, and Brittany, all of whom she was very proud and gave her so much joy. Also left to mourn her, is her brother Al, (Joyce) and her nieces and nephews. Norma will be lovingly remembered and missed by family and friends and all who knew her.
