Norma Elaine Thornberg

Oct. 21, 1926 - Jun. 2, 2012

 

Norma E. Thornberg, 85, of South Bend, passed away at 7:26 p.m. Saturday, June 2, 2012 at Valley View Health Care Center, Elkhart, Indiana. She was born October 1, 1926, in South Bend, the daughter of Benton Earl and Frieda (Wille) Thornberg, and was a lifelong resident.

Norma attended Grace United Methodist Church-South Bend, and enjoyed knitting, puzzles, collecting dolls and working on her lake cottage. As her parents were both deaf, she learned American Sign Language as her first language. When she retired in 1988 after 25 years as a secretary at Associates, South Bend, she used her ASL skills at Community Services for Adult Deaf, South Bend, to assist deaf clients.

She is survived by a brother, Orville (Lucille) Thornberg of South Bend, IN, along with his daughters Gail, Jill and Lynn, and his sons Mark and Phil. She was preceded in death by her parents and two other brothers, David W. and Richard E. Thornberg.
