M. Norma Thomas
July 31, 1931 - May 1, 2016
Tribute
It is with heavy hearts and Joy in Our Lord that we share the passing of our Mom, Norma Thomas. Norma was born July 31, 1931 in Trail BC and passed peacefully surrounded by loving family on May 1, 2016, in Penticton, BC, at the age of 84. Mom was predeceased by her loving husband Mike, and many family and friends who have welcomed her Home. She is survived by her seven children; Greig (Sandra), Patti (George), Mike (Kim), Donna, Cathy (Ken), Kevin, Lisa (Mike); 22 Grandchildren, and 11 Great Grandchildren. Norma is also survived by her sister Antonette, and brothers Rudy and Merne.
Mom served the community compassionately as an RN for 47 years. She served her church faithfully and of course, her family lovingly.
Mom loved spending time with her family most of all, but also loved sewing, quilting, knitting, flowers, music, reading and most recently; bingo, Mexican train, gaming on her IPad and connecting on Facebook, emailing and texting.
Prayers will be held at 7:00 pm Friday May 6th at Christ the King Catholic Church. A funeral mass will be celebrated at 11:00 am Saturday May 7, 2016 at Christ the King Catholic Church, Oliver, BC.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Development and Peace (www.devp.org) would be gratefully accepted.

To Norma’s Family, we are sending our heart felt condolences to you all. Your mom was such a wonderful lady. She always had time to stop and chat when you ran into her at work or in town. I have so many wonderful memories of her that make me smile. I know she will be missed by many but not as much as she will be missed by all of you. She will forever remain in our thoughts and Hearts.

Dearest Patty and Norma’s family. My heart and thoughts are with you all. I met your mom almost 30 years ago, when this German girl immigrated to Canada. She was always up for a chat and a smile whenever we bumped into each other. She will be missed.
