Norma’s Obituary
SHAW, Norma Jean
December 26, 1934 – Esterhazy, Saskatchewan
February 7, 2020 – Calgary, Alberta
It is with great sadness that the family of Norma Jean Shaw (nee Wilds) announce her passing on Friday, February 7th, 2020 at the age of 85 surrounded by her loving family.
Our mother, Norma was a strong, caring woman who overcame many obstacles through out her life including the loss of her husband at the age of 32 with 3 young girls and a baby to bring up as a single mom. We will always remember memories of fresh baked bread and sticky cinnamon buns after school. Our mother ensured we were well taken care of and would even spend all night sewing us clothes to wear if we needed something special. Mom was amazingly creative with the best humour.
Norma remarried in 1973 to Marvin Alan Shaw (passed January 12, 2019) and was blessed with many wonderful children who were part of her new life. We are all very grateful to have our extended family.
Not only an amazing mother, Norma worked as a dental assistant, volunteered at the St John’s rectory, was involved with the girl guides and eventually revisited the dental industry retiring as an Orthodontic technician. Later she worked for the Heart and Stroke foundation Calgary.
Norma’s children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and many friends will always remember her with many smiles and will miss her with all our hearts.
In lieu of flowers, we respectfully ask for donations to the AGAPE Hospice, 1302 8 AVE NW, Calgary, Alberta T2N 1B8. Online: www.agapehospice.ca/ahfunding.html
