Norma May
Norma May, nee Frisch, 94, of Waterloo, Illinois, died May 17, 2022, at her home in Waterloo, IL. She was born November 7, 1927, in Kirkwood, MO.
She is survived by her husband, Roy J. May; her children Susan (Randy) Rettberg, Jerry (Gina) May, Nancy (David) Nobbe, Barry May, Lissa (John) Mudrick, Laura (Kermit) Constantine, and Danny May; 11 Grandchildren: Kevin (Kelli) and David May; Nathan (Emily), Nicholas, and Jesse Nobbe; Matthew May; Travis (Kimmie), Ben, and Sam Constantine; Monica May and Mallory (Drew) Huebner; 5 great-grandchildren: Aiden and Mila May; Harper, Sutton, and Wells Huebner; sister Rosemary Nagel; sister-in-law Marjorie May; many nieces and nephews; and special friends Eugene "Buddy" and Gloria Knoke.
She is preceded in death by daughter Molly (in infancy); parents Edward and Rosina (Fleck) Frisch; stepfather Theodore Parrott; sister Corinne (Ambrose) May; brother Edward (Helen) Frisch; father and mother-in-law Alfred "Barry" and Helen (Cody) May; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law Margaret (Arthur) Kaffai, Alfred May, Ambrose (Corinne) May, Helen (Edward) Frisch, and Robert (Elizabeth) May; nieces and nephews.
Norma was married to the love of her life, Roy, on October 7, 1947-74 ½ years ago. They worked side by side as he established and developed his business. She was a faith-filled Catholic who lived her life with kindness and generosity. She loved her family, being a mom, and nurturing the next generations; she enjoyed anticipating and planning for holidays and family gatherings. She and Roy traveled to all seven continents, and while she was always up for a new adventure her favorite day of any trip was the day she returned home. Mom loved fresh flowers, gardening, reading, playing Scrabble, and being a hostess. She was an excellent baker -- 'famous' for her brownies and apple pie. Norma was well-loved and will be greatly missed.

Nancy, so sorry for the loss of your mom. I just remember being at your house in high school and thought she was so beautiful and sweet to all of us girls. Praying for you all.

Such a sweet lady.
I always enjoyed her kind ways and lovely smile.
I am sure she is so happy to see our Lord.
