Norva was a lifelong resident of Pennfield NB where she was a long-time member of the Pennfield Baptist Church, and she was also a former member of the Fundy Tide Seniors Club. Norva will be remembered as a very kind and loving person who enjoyed sharing all she had with others and taking care of others in need. She was an avid knitter and will be remembered for her many gifts of mittens, socks and other goodies that she gave out to others. Norva enjoyed celebrating her birthdays and on her 100^th birthday, her and her family celebrated in grass skirts and doing the hula and she truly wanted nothing more on her birthday than her family and friends donating to the local food bank in her honor. She was a resident of Brunswick Court in St. George where she was kindly known as the social director. She will be sadly missed by her family, her family at Brunswick Court and all who knew her.
