Terry, Dave and families,
So sorry to hear about your mom. I have lots of memories going to OHIO in August for the Grand American for Trapshooting and spending time in the Ontario Tent with them! We had a lot of fun through the years and when Mom and Dad could not drive me to shoots, I could always call Don and Norma.
Many memories to cherish.

I was saddened to hear of Norma’s passing. We’ve known each other since our days at Watford High School and just recently reconnected through Facebook. We have many great memories of our school days – mostly funny. During this difficult time I would like to extend my most heartfelt sympathy to all of Norma’s family.
Norma will be deeply missed . She was a dear friend all through high school and nursing. I shall treasure the memories of our times as teenagers, six or seven of us girls running through the halls in high school, the many sleepovers, dances on the Auld lawn until midnight and only inviting the boys who were the best dancers, a week at the trailer in Ipperwash ,introducing her to my brother Don at a Watford carnival, painting the interior of Don’s car pink!
She was a great cook and loved working in her garden . She enjoyed her years working as a VON and shared many funny stories of her experiences. Her love and pride in her sons, their wives and then the grandchildren and three special great grandchildren made her life complete
I add my deepest sympathy to all of Terry and David’s family from myself ,Bob, Shelley, Robert and Suzanne

To Terry, Dave, & Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Norma’s passing. I have so many fond memories of us all in Ohio over the years. My prayers go out to all of you, you are in my thoughts. Much love.
Terry and Julie,
So sorry for your sudden loss … I’ve heard nothing but good things and praise about your very strong mother, who i’m told never complained about anything no matter how bad things got … a beautiful example to all of us!! May God bless her and keep her soul
Love, B
I loved and admired my beautiful Aunt Norma. I have fond memories of going to her house at Christmas and eating the wonderful dinners she would prepare. She spoiled me and she always took the time to ask me about my life.
I loved her voice. I used to hang on every word she would say when I would listen in on the conversations that she and my mother and my other aunts would have about nursing. She was smart and witty. She was an avid reader. I was in awe of her amazing gardening abilities. She was an adventurous spirit.
She loved her boys. She was a hockey mom. I have only recently come to realize what a huge commitment that is.
I also remember how much Aunt Norma loved her grand children. She spoke of them often.
Terry, Dave and families, please accept my sincere condolences. I will miss Aunt Norma.

I had the pleasure of travelling with Norma over the years. She was a dear “travel buddy” and together we shared many great times in wonderful destinations such as Italy, England, France, Holland, Ireland and Russia. Everyone onboard our tours loved travelling with Norma, and we will all treasure the memories of our times together. Please accept my sincere condolences.
I worked with Norma at VON for a number of years. Norma was an excellent nurse and she had a great sense of humour. I will miss her. My condolences to her family.
Sorry to hear of Norma passing, have mist sitting with her at church and playing cards at Thompson Gardens. With both your Dad and Mom. Wonderful couple.

Family gatherings were always fun at Aunt Norma’s and Uncle Don’s place. She was one of the adults who always took the time to talk to us “kids”. She was an amazing hostess carrying on conversations, making jokes all while prepping a meal for twenty or so guests. She was a dedicated VON nurse for years and always talked fondly of her clients. I will always be indebted to her generous spirit as she came, unsolicited, to help take care of my father in his final weeks after battling cancer. She offered not only her time but her friendship and expertise at a time that it was so needed. Aunt Norma will be missed. My deepest condolences to Terry and Dave and your respective families.
We were saddened to hear of Norma’s passing, she will be truly missed. Unfortunately, due to a prior committment, we were unable to attend the visitation on Monday but please know your family are in our thoughts at this sad time. Please accept our sincerest condolences, the Kerr family reunion has lost a faithful participant and, again, she will be missed but she has been reunited with Donald.
