I greatly admired your career as a school bus driver and as a restauranteur/entrepreneur. Probably two of the hardest jobs on the planet earth.! I’m only acquainted with your son Ronny, but you certainly can be proud of him.. And all those great-grandchildren! You will certainly be missed…

Thank you for being a huge part of so many of our lives in Villa Hills. You taught all of us kids so many life lessons, it just wasn’t swimming at the neighbors pool. It was one big family!! You gave us great advice and kicked our butts when we needed it. Live long memories that we all cherish. We we’re lucky to have you and so many other second “Mom’s” driving us to and from school. I hope all of you are on that big yellow bus, laughing and having a great time. You’re going to be missed by so many but what a great life you’ve had and touched so many of our hearts for so long. RIP Norma, much love from my family to yours.
