January 6, 1931 - November 25, 2024
Born in Armstrong Jan 6, 1931, the fifth child of Gladys & Augustus Schubert, Norma moved to Vernon in 1949 where she met her first husband, Ralph Tupper. They had 4 children, Lennie, Beverly, Kathryn, and Randal. Two years after Ralph's death in 1968, Norma met (at church) and married Harold Peterson, who was a great mentor to her children. Norma had 8 grandchildren, and 16 great grandchildren.
Norma was a member of UCW, and was Vernon's Maternal Grandmother of Job's Daughters. Norma retired from a career in banking in 1996, and then stepped up her arts and crafts, teaming up with Harold to include production of barbie doll tents & houses which sold at creative chaos. They also volunteered with the Heart and Stroke foundation. After Harold's passing in 2000, Norma started knitting dishcloths, which she gave to her visitors.
