April 6, 1937 – December 4, 2022

On December 4, 2022, our Mom passed away after a 10 year battle with Alzheimer’s Disease.

Mom was born in Red Deer, AB to parents Clifford and Elizabeth Taylor. Norma was the youngest of 3 children. She grew up there and then met her first love, they moved to Vancouver, BC where they could be close to more family.

An opportunity came up in 1963 for them to move their family to Kamloops where they would eventually own their own business, the Brocklehurst Texaco where they worked hard and provided wonderful experiences for their family in and around the Kamloops outdoors. When the kids were all grown Mom went to work and held a variety of administrative positions, her last job held prior to retiring that she loved dearly, was working with children at Gold’s Gym where she was notably appreciated and loved for all her kindness and care she provided to the children and their families throughout her time there.

In her retirement years, she spent much time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren which always brought her much joy and happiness. She and her late husband, Andy Heron also had a passion for travel and had joined a local RV Club where they took on many exciting adventures together with the group and developed many lasting friendships. She also had a tight connection with a few close lady friends whom she would go to see many Western Canada Theatre productions with, take lots of walks around McArthur Island and often finish off with coffee at the A&W on the North Shore.

In the last several years her son would pick her up from her Care Home at Ridgeview Lodge, where she was fondly known as Hot Rod Momma. She so looked forward to her adventures with Steve-O and his bright Orange Chevelle SS.

Norma is survived by her 4 children; Kathy Stocks (Juergen), Steve Davis, Cindy Davis-Johnston (Greg), and Karen Davis-Marrelli (Elio). She is also survived by 8 grandchildren; Laurie (Josh) McGowan, Diana (Wayne) Halverson, Sara (Tyler) Galis, Tyler Fairbur (Amanda Bahm), Natasha & (Owen) McCabe, Jessica Fairburn, Taya (Matthew) Kryger, Emma-Lea Marrelli. She also leaves 12 great-grandchildren; Hunter Halverson, Madeline; Charlotte; Beatrice & Amelia McGowan, Roman Stocks-Gallis, Kassidy; Erika & Deakin McCabe, Lucas Bahm, Beau & Maya Kryger. She is also survived by numerous other relatives throughout Alberta and BC.

The family would like to acknowledge Dr. Howie and all the wonderful staff at Overlander Extended Care and Ridgeview Lodge for providing much kindness, comfort and support to Mom over the years she spent in their care.

A celebration of life will be held in the Spring.

Condolences may be sent to the family at Drake Cremation and Funeral Services.
