  • Notes 
    • DAVIS, Norma Joy - Passed away, peacefully, at home, surrounded by her loving family, on March 31, 1998.

      Norma was a special friend and devoted wife of Bob Davis for 42 years. Loving mother of Julie Glofcheskie and her husband Barry of Elmira, Valerie Soehner and her husband Todd of Elmira, Andrew Davis and his wife Melanie of Waterloo. Grammy's love will be missed by her three precious grandchildren, Alexander and Morgan Glofcheskie and Jordan Soehner. She will also be sadly missed by her dear sister, grace Schneider and her husband Harry. Special aunt to John and Judy, Jayne and Don, Tim and Jan, and Kathy and Lew. Cherished friendships will be missed by Char Weber and so many dear friends.

      She was predeceased by her parents, Percy and Sylvia Woods (Miller).

      Norma will be remembered as a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, a good friend and talented teacher. Her creativity and compassion will be forever remembered.

      Thank you to the wonderful caregivers from VON, Homecare, Comcare and Vital Air. Very special thanks to Dr. Z. Majewski, Dr. M. Jackson, Ella and Gail. Many remembered Norma with their support.

      The family will receive friends and relatives at the Dreisinger Funeral Home, in Elmira, on Thursday, April 2 from 2-4 and 7-9 pm. A memorial service will be held at Trinity United Church, Elmira, on Friday, April 13 at 11 am, with The Rev. J.D. Kellough officiating.

      To honor Norma's wishes, cremation and private interment will take place at Elmira Union Cemetery preceding the memorial service. In memory of her courageous battle with lung cancer, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy.

      "Do not mourn for me, for I have not left you. Look in the eyes of my children and grandchildren and you will find me there."
