Norma was born May 28, 1952, in Aberdeen, Washington. In 1991, Norma made her home in La Porte County after relocating from Fayetteville, Tennessee. She was known for her love of travel and the joy it brought her. Norma dedicated 25 years of her life to a career as an over-the-road truck driver, a profession that showcased her love of exploring the open roads. As an avid gardener, she loved growing vegetables that often made their way into her delicious home cooked meals. Norma was a fan of romance novels and reading that provided her with escape and inspiration. She enjoyed being there for her children and she was often involved in sports and 4-H while they were in school. Norma loved the holidays, where she was able to celebrate with both her children and grandchildren around her. She is greatly loved and dearly missed by all who knew her.

She is survived by her husband, Richard Jones; three sons, Teddy K Leslie II of La Porte, IN, Thomas Leslie of Michigan City, IN, Timothy (Megan) Leslie of Kingsbury, IN; daughter, Shannon (Josh) Wright of Michigan City, IN; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
