Ruth M. Normann, 94, was called to be with her Lord on Nov. 25,
2017, after a battle with a terminal illness. Her devotion to her
faith supported her in her illness and ultimately gave her peace.
Ruth was born in Jeffersonville, Indiana, to the late Andrew and
Cecil Lieber on March 16, 1923. She graduated from Jeffersonville
High School and Business College in Louisville, Kentucky, then went
to work with the Colgate Company and later the Department of Defense
as Executive Secretary in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She met and
married Carl Normann in Albuquerque in 1962.
Ruth was an avid walker, an Alzheimer’s advocate and an epic
pinecone collector. She was an accomplished cook and baker and loved
to learn about history and the world. She was a gentle selfless soul
who put others before herself while facing life’s challenges with
quiet strength and dignity.
Ruth is survived by her daughter, Sonja N. and son-in-law, Rick W.
of Nevada City, Calif.; and son, Peter N. of Clarkdale, Arizona;
nephew, Richard N. of Pasadena, California; niece, Carol and husband
Mark S. and three great-nieces and one great-nephew, all of
Carefree, Arizona.
A celebration of her life will be held at a later date at Granite
Gate Senior Living, Prescott. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to
Heritage Memory Mortuary.
