She graduated from Granite High School and attended BYU and LDS Business College.
She worked during Word War II in various areas throughout the west. She met her husband-to-be in Tacoma, Washington. Shortly after the war, she married Nathan Cameron Adams on March 6, 1946 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Norma and Cameron moved to Delta, where she spent the rest of her life farming and raising a family. Cameron passed away on March 30, 2002.
