She was married to Robert L. Hurt, the love of her life for 30 years. She was a devoted wife and mother.  She stood as a righteous matriarch over her family and never faltered in her example. She had a tender heart for those in need, quietly befriended and served others. Norma had a smile and kind word for everyone she met. She was an active member of the LDS church and served faithfully in many capacities in the Relief Society, MIA and primary. She served many years in the Arizona Temple, and went on three missions with her husband Robert. Norma had a great love for her family and her dear friends.
