Excerpts from the Samuel Allen Wilcox Family Bulletin #26, 1970, pages 65, 69, and 70 of the digital version tell the story of Norma in the sketches of her Uncle Louis Wilcox and her mother Myrtle Martha Wilcox Kennington.
Louis Wilcox, page 65:
He was generous to a fault especially for children. He loved children anywhere and they loved him in return, If he was to give a gift he took great pleasure and pains to make the right choice.
When Little Norma, his niece was very ill, with a heart condition, Louis was grieved for her. He would have done anything for her comfort, or to help her get well.
Patriarch Larsen tells of this incident. A beautiful thing took place a week ago, as Louis came to my home one evening and said, "I would like to ask a favor of you Brother Larsen, I've been praying for my niece Norma who is in the hospital at the present time, and I've just been writing a letter to her. I felt we need all the help we can get," and his voice was full of love and charity, among the nice things that he said about Norma, how he had learned to love her, and I could enter into that love for her because she had been a sufferer in a way under a handicap physically and he had had that kind of affliction that had curtailed the ambitions of his life, and I have lost one of my senses that I felt was very important to me. So my heart went out to those who need extra attention such as Louis and Norma. This winter that Norma was in Utah and the doctors were doing everything they could for her, many of her friends wrote her lovely cards but as her mother came in with the mail she would say did I get a letter from Uncle Louie, and if she did his was the first to be read. She was returning his great love for her. One day a telegram came just to please her.
Myrtle Martha Wilcox Kennington, pages 69-70:
On the 9th of July, 1943, their third baby girl was born. She was also premature and was just as tiny as Genevieve was. She was born a blue baby and had a heart ailment from birth, so she was in delicate health most of her life. She was given the name of Norma.
. . . .
In the fall of 1952 Norma became very ill. They felt it was necessary to get her to a heart specialist so they sold their home and started for California, as the doctor advised them to take her to a lower climate. When they got to Logan she became much worse so the best doctors they could learn of was consulted and she was under their care all winter, but she could not respond to the medication and on 26 of March, 1953, after a long anxious winter, she passed away. Norma's passing was a sad time for the entire family because she was so dearly loved by all, she was such a patient child through it all.
