Norma enjoyed attending live plays in Toronto including her most favourite ‘Phantom of the Opera’ along with watching old movies from days gone by.  Outings with her granddaughters were a major source of enjoyment for her.  She loved spending time with her family and any time spent with her grandchildren/great-grandchildren as these visits were highlight of her days.  A true ‘Blue Jays’ fan to the core, she eagerly watched every game, cheering them on while vigorously working to complete her latest craft!
