Norma was united in marriage to Howard Lester Isbell, Jr. on Thursday, January 27, 1955 in St. Louis, Missouri and they were the proud parents of Michael, Donald and Susan.

Norma spent her life taking care of her home and her family, regardless of what part of the world they lived in. They lived in many states and many countries, while Howard was a Sergeant in the United States Army. During their travels, Norma collected salt and pepper shakers and spoons.

She spent her life being a St. Louis Cardinals Baseball fan and her son Donald got to take her to one game at Busch Stadium. She spent part of the game yelling at the players and the umpires. Norma owned a tote full of St. Louis Cardinals and St. Louis Blues t-shirts.

She enjoyed playing bingo, watching "Days of Our Lives" and her favorite time of year was Christmas. Norma's life revolved around her TV, coffee pot and dog "Trixie". What she truly treasured most in life was spending time with her family and friends.

She was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, great aunt, great-great aunt, sister-in-law and friend of many. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is preceded in death by her parents Jacob and Fern Zweifel; husband Howard Lester Isbell, Jr.; four month old son Michael Isbell; siblings Bob Zweifel, Jack Zweifel, Norman Zweifel and Betty Wells; grandson-in-law Trevor Stannard, brothers-in-law; sisters-in-law; and a host of other relatives and friends.
