Norma Marie Anderson Clifford Correa Cochran
1923 - 2020
Early Life: Norma was born November 1, 1923, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Andrew Martin Anderson and Thyra Jensen Anderson, the fifth of their nine children. Money was scarce in her home growing up, but love was plentiful.
Life’s Work | Service | Interests: Norma met David John Clifford and married on May 2, 1940, at the early age of 16. They had four children: Carole, Arlene, Barbara and David. Following her first marriage, she and the children started a new chapter by moving to California.
On March 22, 1970, Norma married A.R. Correa, and moved to San Carlos, California. She enjoyed being near her daughters and grandchildren who lived near her at that time, making special memories together. Upon retiring, A.R. and Norma moved to Paradise, California. They spent their time helping with grandchildren there; whether it was picking them up from school, or transporting them to their many activities over the years. The grandchildren remember sleeping over, playing Monopoly, watching detective and “I Love Lucy” shows, and in the mornings, eating Lucky Charms cereal. After A.R. passed away in 1998, Norma remained in Paradise, enjoying her family and making lifelong friends.
While in her 80s, Norma met her "Knight in Shining Armor", Grover Cleveland Cochran Jr., while visiting her kids in Utah. Since nobody was getting any younger, three weeks later, they were married and sealed in the Mount Timpanogos Temple on January 14, 2006. After six happy years of marriage, Grover passed away, and Norma remained in Provo, Utah, enjoying her new extended family, and being closer to all her children and her many great-grandchildren. Spending time with family, was one of her greatest joys in life. Family was everything to Norma. Her insatiable love of sweets and whatever flavor of Baskin-Robbins ice cream was closest at hand, could only be matched by her ability to make others laugh. Her authenticity and kindness helped lighten everyone’s spirits, and her great grandchildren especially, have special memories trying on Grandma’s wigs, and sharing ice cream time together. Norma Marie Anderson Cochran passed away peacefully in Provo, Utah, on April 22, 2020, of natural causes. She was 96.
She was always positive, even when confined in a wheelchair, cheering up all those around her. Her ability to find the silver lining in trying times, is one of her lasting legacies to her family. She had a cheerful heart, and was endowed with goodness. Norma loved her Savior, Jesus Christ, and has left a Christlike legacy of goodness serving her family and friends.
Family Message: "She will be greatly missed, but we are certain her reunion with her Lord and family on the other side of the veil has been joyous and glorious beyond measure!"
Survived By: Her children: Carole (Allen) Tidwell, Arlene (Joseph) Ingoglia, and David (Mey) Clifford; her brother, Jay Anderson; 16 grandchildren; 42 great grandchildren and 12 great-great-grandchildren. Norma is also survived by A.R.’s daughter, Cookie Molitor and her family; Grover’s children: Gary, Robert, Kent, Kirby, Windy, and their families. Norma loved each of them as her own, and was grateful for more family to love.
Preceded In Death By: Her parents; her siblings: Reed, Ronella, Grant, Vernal, Mary, May, & Marsha; her husbands, A.R. and Grover; her daughter, Barbara; and Grover’s daughter, Marlyn.
Viewing: Private for family
