Norma Robichek: December 24, 1925 -
November 17, 2000
Norma was the glue that held the
Robichek family together. She always saw
the best in everyone and everything.
Perhaps the perfect evidence of this was
her reaction to every meal she cooked. As
she tasted the first bite, her head would
gently rock to the side as she said,
"Mmmmmmm. This is the best
<insert meal> ever!" And the
wonderful thing was...she really felt
that way!
Perhaps the greatest
tribute to "mom" was that she
raised Jane, Mark & Sue so well that
they all turned out to be such
responsible, dynamic and successful
adults. Mom set such a great example for
how to run a household. And she was
always there whenever her kids needed
her.
Few people can
honestly say that they have lived a
complete life, but Norma was indeed one
such person. She traveled to all 7
continents, had 3 terrific children, and
had 3 wonderful, loving
relationships. Her kids could be
quite jealous of these aspects of her
life, but she raised them so well that
jealously is not a part of their
personalities.
“We love you, mom!” We
have always loved you, and that love has
not diminished in your absence. The
emotional strength you and dad helped
instill in us will help carry us through
the rest of our lives. Sue wrote a tribute poem
to the life of Norma.
