<div itemprop="description">On May 4th, our beloved beautiful wife, mother, sister, and grandmother passed away peacefully, with her family by her side. Norma had a long and courageous battle with Multiple Myeloma. We are grateful for the courage, strength and positive attitude that she displayed during her twelve-year battle. With incredible determination, she learned to walk again, when doctors deemed it impossible, and was able to continue to be active and play golf with her friends. <br> <br>Norma loved to play bridge with her Monday and Thursday groups, and on Thursday's wine was consumed while making Grand Slams. In the winters, Norma enjoyed traveling to Destin, Florida, and played golf, cards and shopped with friends. Norma also relished staying in touch with her dear friends from Montreal, where she grew up, and with friends from the Royal Bank, where she worked for many years. <br> <br>The most important part of Norma's life was her family. Bill, Norma's husband of 45 years, loved every moment with her. Norma loved living close to her son Brian (Grace), Oakville, and watching her grandchildren grow up. She kept in close touch with son Michael (Kumi), Calgary, by Skype and treasured watching their family grow. Norma was in daily contact with daughter Alison, Richmond Va., and closely followed her college golf playing and now coaching. <br> <br>Norma loved family vacations and making holidays like Christmas, Easter, and birthdays memorable for everyone. Norma's five grandchildren were so special to her, and she enjoyed watching them ski together this past Christmas. Norma created many fond memories for Mathew, Madison, Eddie, Claire and Seiji, playing cards, swimming at the family pool, and cheering at sporting events. Norma enjoyed hanging out with Mathew and Madison after school, in the summer and on weekends, and loved filling requests for chicken and broccoli, yorkshire pudding, and spaghetti with meat sauce. <br> <br>Norma will always be remembered for her generosity, humor, kind heart, strength, courage and genuine love for her friends and family. We are all so fortunate for her will to extend her time with us, and appreciate Dr. Kouroukis, Dr. Bednar, Dr. Sapir, Dr. Cairns, Rev. Jim Gill, Oakville Trafalgar hospital and everyone else on our team. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Myeloma Canada Foundation (http://www.myelomacanada.ca). <br> <br>A service for friends and family will be held May 14th at 1:30pm, at Walton Memorial United Church, Lakeshore Road, Oakville Ontario. Please join us in celebrating Norma's life.</div>
