Norm Jean Nazelrod, 88, Norma, passed away with family by her side in Longview on Jan. 1, 2014.
She was on July 12, 1925, in Castle Rock to William Henry and Maggie Lee (Johnson) Woodard. The fourth of five children, she was the "Baby of the family. Her parents and siblings - Ethel LaVerne Crabb, William LeRoy Woodard; Lona Lenor Hicks and David Arnold "Woody" Woodard - all preceded her in death.
Norma graduated from Castle Rock High School in 1944. She married Bane Willard Nazelrod on April 13, 1946, and settled across the street from her childhood home. Bane and Norma had two children. In 1962, Norma went to work at Pacific National Bank of Castle Rock, where she was a teller for 17 years.
After Babe's death in 1977, Norma marred Robert "Bob" Russell Nazelrod, a cousin to her first husband. on Dec. 15, 1979. There was just no getting away from the Nazelrod name, and she liked to joke that at least she "didn't have to change the monogrammed towels."
Norma and Bob moved to Texas for a couple more years before heading to Northern California, where they resided for several more years. They eventually moved back to the local to be closer to family. Bob passed away in June 1992.
Norma never remarried instead busying herself with crocheting, knitting, playing Bingo with her friends, working puzzle (to keep "the mind sharp and the hands busy") and reading romance novels. When asked why she loved her romance novels so much, she replied, "Because they always have a happy ending."
Norma was known for her quick wit and sarcasm and was lovingly christened "The Betty White of the Family." she loved to laugh and enjoyed spending time with her family. She especially enjoyed playing Scrabble with her great-grandkids and teaching them how to crochet/knit. She was patient, kind and always had extra love to give.
She is survived by her two children and her seven grandchildren. Also surviving are her 21 great-grandchildren; and five great-great-grandchildren.
A great-granddaughter, preceded her in death.
Shortly before her death, Norma was told, "We all love you very much. All of your grandbabies love you, too," to which she replied, "And i love them, too. With my whole heart. My whole heart."
A memorial service has already taken place at East Kelso Baptist Church. Arrangements were by Steele Chapel at Longview Memorial
