After losing her husband, Bobby, in 1990 — they met in grade school and had lived in the same house in East Ridge since 1952 — Norma "spent the next three decades traveling the world, knitting socks and watching a seemingly endless torrent of ESPN. During that time — at least until 2021 — she only missed attending two Auburn home football games. In addition to her beloved family and equally beloved Auburn, she had a fondness for sewing, cooking, reading, spicy food, weak coffee, chocolate, Oldsmobiles, Harry Truman and fried shellfish —especially from Wolf Bay Lodge in Foley, Alabama.
"Her dislikes were also well known. They included the University of Alabama, alumni of the University of Alabama, fans of the University of Alabama (which, she would note, seem to outnumber alumni by a wide margin), crimson, houndstooth, ignorance, cruelty, hubris, indifference, cowbells, and — in recent years — the University of Georgia."
Rest easy, Norma, and say hello to Pat Dye when you see h
