Winona Humble Norman
Winona Humble Norman passed away quietly at her home in Caldwell on the afternoon of Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2005. Wyn was born in Teton Valley on May 12, 1923 to Agnes Campbell and William Henry Humble. She was the seventh of 10 children. Her youth was spent in Teton valley where she graduated from Tetonia High School and was the captain of the girls' basketball team. Shortly after the start of World War II, Wyn left Teton Valley to work in the war effort in a factory that built radios for airplanes. Subsequently she answered a call for nurses and traveled to Portland, Ore., where she enrolled in the nursing program of Linfield College at Good Samaritan Hospital. She graduated in 1946. It was during that time that she met her husband, Bill, a chief petty officer in the U.S. Navy who was serving in the Pacific. They were married on May 27, 1946. After her husband was discharged from the Navy, they returned to the Boise valley where they have continuously made their home. After two years in Boise, they moved to Caldwell in 1950 where they raised their three boys, built a business and served their church and community. While raising her sons, Wyn served frequently as a volunteer nurse for the American Red Cross. She also used her skills to provide needed care for family and friends through the years. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints all of her life and served in all of its auxiliary organizations. From 1986 to 1988 she and her husband served as missionaries of the church in the Philippines. Immediately following their return from missionary service they began their tenure of service as temple workers in the Boise Idaho Temple. This service was particularly joyful for them and continued without interruption until her health began to decline in May 2005. She is survived by her husband William A. Norman; by her three sons, William Allison Norman of Kingston, Wash., and Daniel E. Norman and Robert J. Norman, both of Caldwell; by 17 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren; by her brothers William H. Humble of Salt Lake City, James W. Humble of New Plymouth and Max V. Humble of Pocatello; and by her sister O. Murrel Cooke of Victor, Idaho. The funeral service will be at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 21, 2005 at the LDS chapel on the corner of 12th and Everett in Caldwell. Interment will follow at Canyon Hill Cemetery in Caldwell. The family will also receive friends at the Dakan Funeral Chapel, 504 S. Kimball Avenue, on Sunday evening, Nov. 20 from 6 to 8 p.m.
