Elaine Miller Norman

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA — Elaine Miller Norman, 89, was called home to Jesus on Thursday, Aug. 4, by natural causes. Her strong will to live, unwavering faith in God, and the love and prayers of family and friends carried her through to the end.

Elaine was born on Nov. 5, 1926, in Port, Oklahoma, to Wiley and Gladys Miller. She attended Eagle Rock High School in Eagle Rock, California, and attended college in Santa Barbara, California. She married the love of her life, Charles Norman, on Aug. 16, 1946.

Married for 49 years, Elaine and Chuck raised their four dear children, Janet, Richard, Cynthia and Robert. Elaine and Chuck retired, moved to Montana and made St. Ignatius their home in 1971. Elaine became active in church and the community – helping out with the food bank and getting involved in all church activities. Their home was always open for the many family, friends and acquaintances that came to Montana to visit – and Elaine loved sharing her home and the beauty of Montana with them.

Possessing a true servant’s heart, Elaine faithfully cared for family and friends through her cooking, sewing and crafting. A woman of faith and the heart of the Norman family, Elaine shaped their spirituality by her tireless Christian example, and also through various prayer and bible study groups.

Elaine loved to hike, garden, go to Glacier Park, read, pray and surround herself with family. She loved spending time with her grandchildren, and was overjoyed when her last grandchild and great-grandchildren came into this world. She was a blessing to all who knew her.

Elaine’s children, Janet Buhr (Al), Richard Norman (Vivian), Cindy Dawson (Dan), and Robert Norman (Kelly); many grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren survive her.

Elaine’s husband, Charles Norman; her brother, Harold Miller, and her parents, Wiley and Gladys Miller, precede her in death.

Family services are being held at Eternal Valley Mortuary in Newhall, California.

In lieu of flowers, please donate in Elaine’s name to Samaritan’s Purse or to the charity of your choice.
