Norma was born at home in Uma- tilla to Ernest T. and Florence Rachel Reeves on January 25, 1933. Norma grew up with her Busler five siblings on the family farm. She was extremely close to her broth- ers and sisters, taking care of all of them at one time or another as they aged and needed assistance. While growing up Norma was active in Umatilla High School events. She played sports, played in the band, was a cheerleader and was valedictorian of her grad- uating class. She was also a member of the Umatilla High School alumni associ- ation for many years. In 1952 Norma married Donald A. Andersen. They had to two children, David Andersen of Portland, Ore., and Dawn Andersen Watts of Spokane, Wash. Don and Norma later divorced. She returned to her birth- place and went to work at the Umatilla Army Depot where she eventually worked her way up to become a supervi- sor supply clerk. She retired from the Army Depot after 33 years of rising at 4:30 a.m. so she could carpool to work. Norma’s children were her pride and joy and she worked tirelessly to pro- vide for them with the assis- tance of her mother, sisters and brothers. Norma dearly loved the Lord, her church, and her church family. She became a member of the Uma- tilla Community Presby- terian Church in the 1960s and was a lifetime member. She held many positions at the church, serving as Sun- day school teacher, session member and choir director, to name a few. Her grand- children all thought she “owned the church.” Until her recent illness, she was the “go-to” person for said church. Norma attended all of her children’s events when they were growing up. She did the same for all of her grand- children, at least as much as her schedule would allow. All her grandchildren’s friends knew her as Grandma Norma, the grandma with the “purple hair” and pink umbrella. Over the years, Norma traveled thousands of miles between Portland and Colfax, Wash., to see her children and grandchil- dren. She also spearheaded several trips to Illinois to visit extended family. Those trips with her sisters, nieces and daughter were very spe- cial to her. Family was very import- ant to Norma, so were her friends. She not only had friends her own age, but also had friends that her children introduced to her. Some of the best times Norma expe- rienced late in life were visits from her fam- ily friends, her pastor, her nieces and her sis- ter, Jeannie (Reeves) Creamer. Sister Jeannie was a constant support and companion when her time allowed. The two would often sit and do crossword puz- zles, play Yahtzee, or read books. Norma enjoyed good health most of her life until the winter of 2016, when she was diagnosed with cancer. Even after several surger- ies, radiation and treatments, Norma remained at peace with her circumstances and her faith and family car- ried her through the rough spots. Following her diag- nosis, Norma moved to Spo- kane to live with her daugh- ter and son-in-law. They were joined by her grand- son, Tim, and his wife, Alex- andrea, a few months later as they began the process of building their home. Her great-granddaughter, Mazie, represented the fourth gen- eration in the household and knew her simply as G.G. (Great-Grandma). Norma was a wonder- ful mother, daughter, grand- mother, sister, friend, and believer. She always gave of her time and never expected anything in return. She had a servant’s heart and always found a way to help some- one in need. She will be missed on this earth, but we know she will be with all those she loved who have passed before her. Norma is survived by her son, Dave Andersen of Port- land, Ore., and her daugh- ter Dawn (Andersen) Watts of Spokane, Wash. She is also survived by one sis- ter, Jeannie Creamer, four grandchildren (Keith, Tim, Kristin and Drew), and one great-grandchild (Mazie). She was preceded in death by her mother and father, Florence and Ernest Reeves; two brothers, Harold and Bennie Reeves; and two sis- ters, Dottie (Reeves) Ste- phens and Patsy (Reeves) Hutchinson. If you wish to honor Norma with a memorial donation, you may contrib- ute to the Umatilla Commu- nity Presbyterian Church, Umatilla Alumni associa- tion or the American Cancer Society. A celebration of life for Norma will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, August 25, 2018, at the Umatilla Com- munity Presbyterian, at 14 Martin Drive. A private fam- ily burial will be at Sunset Hills Cemetery, Umatilla, Oregon. Please sign the online condolence book at burns- mortuaryhermiston.com. Arrangements by Burns Mortuary of Hermiston.
