Norma was born on February 1, 1951, and grew up in Princeton, Missouri. She graduated from Princeton High School in 1969. After graduation, she moved to Kansas City, Missouri, where she met the love of her life, Fredrick Herbert Sollman, on a blind date. The two were united in marriage on September 11, 1976, and shared nearly 50 years together.
From 1970-1980, Norma worked as an insurance adjuster before leaving work to stay home with her children, Shawn and Angela. In 1987, she returned to the workforce at Kansas City Auto Auction, where she worked in payroll and later as a Title Clerk before retiring in 2015.
Norma had a deep love for genealogy and enjoyed tracing her family history. She wrote a book about the family of Calvin Crouse, her ancestor and Civil War Veteran. She became a member of North Oak Christian Church in 1989, and was an eager contributor to the church’s community. She served in many volunteer roles over the years including as the Church Treasurer. Norma was devoted to her family and found her greatest joy in the time she spent with them. She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother.
