Norma Louise Gates
October 18, 1929 - March 16, 2018
Norma Lousie Gates, age 88, of Seymour, WI, passed peacefully to meet her Lord and Saviour on March 16, 2018 at Good Shepherd Home Care Facility, Seymour, WI. She was born in Loretto, MI on October 18, 1929, the daughter of the late Joseph and Theodelinda (Zaupa) Cazzola. Norma married Kenneth William Gates of Ovid, MI on April 15, 1950. He preceded her in death on April 1, 1990. Norma was a religious woman – a devout Roman Catholic, and pursued her life telling those she met about Jesus. She and her husband raised two children, Lana Joy and Kenneth (Kenny) William Gates, Jr in Lansing, MI. She was an excellent homemaker, loving wife, mother, grandmother, and especially proud to be a great grandmother. Norma was also a very enthusiastic Green Bay Packers fan. During the NFL season, it was not uncommon to see her huddled in front of the television cheering on her team. Norma is survived by her children: Lana (Tim) Stiles of Alto, MI and Kenneth (girlfriend Nel) Gates Jr. of Green Bay, WI; two grandchildren: Thomas T. Stiles of Muskegon, MI and Scott (Amy) Stiles of Hudsonville, MI and their daughter Emery Joy Stiles; brothers Robert and Alfred Cazzola of Foster City, MI; sisters Cecilia Tojza of Silver Lake, WI and Bruna Norman of Elderon, WI; and many nieces, and nephews. A family memorial is being planned for later in the spring. Arrangements provided by Hansen Family Funeral Services.
