obituaries/classified ads In Memory of... Norma E. Wolf Norma E. Wolf, a long time Vernonia resident, died Saturday, March 29, 2014 in Hillsboro, Oregon. She was born December 5, 1927 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. As a young girl, of 16, and on her own, she enjoyed going to the movies about every night and went skating and to dances a lot. Norma married Francis L. Wolf on May 6, 1946, they built their home together in Vernonia. They enjoyed hobby work & camping together. Norma also enjoyed knitting, crocheting, sewing, cooking, and flower gardening. She also enjoyed having hobby day with her friends. 2014 Besides loving her own hobbies and hobby days with her friends, she and Frank did just about everything together for 58 years. They built their own home together and later in life they liked to build things together from wood, including bird feeders on poles, small standing reindeer, birds and more. Norma would draw it and Frank would go to the shop and cut it out. Norma would then either wood burn etch in the eyes and features or paint them. No matter what the project was, they did it together. When they weren’t doing hobbies, they enjoyed going out for a drive, even if it was just for the day with a thermos of hot water, instant coffee and donuts. They’d drive out to look at the elk or take the camp van to the coast or to a park for the weekend to relax around the campfire. It didn’t matter as long as they were together. Norma worked as a waitress at Kate’s Café in Vernonia and at the Jolly Jones in Portland and also worked at GAF and did field work. She was a wonderful cook; sometimes she’d cook and bake for days before a holiday or special family event. Everyone always knew there would always be lots of delicious foods waiting to be eaten. Later in 1985, Norma and Francis had a wonderful time in their motor home called “Honey” taking a trip around the United States they had a lot A Trusted Name in Funeral Service Fuiten, Rose & Hoyt Funeral Home & Crematory Angel Memorials Headstones 2308 Pacific Ave., Forest Grove 503-357-2161 741 Madison Ave., Vernonia 503-429-6611 Granite Markers & Monuments 971-344-3110 Jeff & Kathryn Hoyt Family Owned & Operated Formerly Prickett’s Mortuary Forest Grove Memorial Chapel 503-357-3126 To sign the online guest book or to send a condolence to the family go to www.fuitenrosehoyt.com may1 Locally owneW in Vernonia Serving NW Oregon All Cemeteries AccepteW OrWer Wrawing at no charge online www.angelmemorialsheadstones.com Classified Ad Rates $5/month (two issues) Rideshare/Carpool Ads FREE of fun and stories to tell.
