Obituary of Norma Gwendolyn Wallace

Norma Gwendolyn Wallace

2 August 1940- 11 June 2024

It is with sorrow that Norma’s family announce her passing on June 11, 2024 at age 83 after a heartbreaking battle with vascular dementia.

She is survived by her children, Tracy Morgan (Richard Boudreau) and Shawn Morgan (Amanda Brazeau). Pre-Deceased by her parents Charles and Irene Wallace, her infant daughter Linda, her brothers Floyd and Reg, and sister Wendy. Survived by her siblings Trevor (Greely), Judy (Ottawa), and Penny Cook (Greely). Remembered by nieces, nephews, cousins, kin, family, professional colleagues and friends from everywhere.

Norma earned her designation of Registered Nurse from Ottawa Civic Hospital School of Nursing in 1961 and practiced on both Canada and the US for almost 25 years until deciding a career change into the Insurance/Insurance Medical world was to be her next accomplishment. Her dedication to her employees and to the service of her clients was evident and well received.

Norma’s passions were her children and spending time at the golf course with friends. Known to all as Norma, she was never Mrs “Anyone” as that was “her mother-in-law”. A good round of 18 holes was always better than a day at a desk.

Norma’s family would like to express their profound gratitude to everyone at the Bradford Valley Care Community Centre. Their care, concern, and unwavering dedication to their residents truly appreciated.  

As per Norma’s wishes, internment will take place at Spring Hills Cemetery in Vernon, Ontario.

A Celebration of Life for family and friends will be planned and communicated accordingly. 

Condolences and memories of Norma can be sent to normagwallace@gmail.com to be added to the memory book.

In lieu of flowers the family would like you to consider a donation to the local Alzheimer’s Society branch, or just getting out for 18 holes, making sure the 19th includes a toast in her honour.
