Norma was born on March 18, 1929 in West Fort Ann where she was the only girl with two brothers. 

Norma had two loves of her life, Edwin Waters Sr. and Frank Hitchcock who she will be buried in between.  Throughout Norma’s life she worked at Park Lane Motel in Lake George for many years and from there went on to be a home health aide for different organizations throughout the area.  When not at work outside the home she was certainly working inside the home raising her nine children.  Norma loved horseback riding, camping and fishing at her camp in Newcomb, NY, snowmobiling, watching wrestling on TV, bingo, going to casinos, travelling to Hawaii and Las Vegas, and last but certainly not least attending family reunions. Her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren are by far Norma’s greatest accomplishments.
