Norma and Hal shared the kind of love and enduring connection which are the subjects of love stories. Their devotion to one another extended into their family and radiated onto anyone they met. Norma's selfless nature defined her life and the relationships she formed: Love First. She dedicated herself to caring for residents at Cameron Hall and gave so much of herself to improving the lives of others. She guided those diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in her support group with her gentle companionship and understanding. She was a faithful woman in all her ways who loved God and her church family at Ball Ground United Methodist Church.
Norma truly was a blessing on this Earth and her kind, loving, generous soul will resonate for eternity. She will be profoundly missed by her family, friends, and anyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

The caring staff of Darby Funeral Home is honored to serve the Schmidt family.
