Norma Stangeland
Norma Stangeland, age 87, of Carrington, ND, passed away on Sunday, October 13, 2019, at Golden Acres Estates, Carrington, ND.
Norma was born on August 22, 1932, the daughter of Henry and Mabel (Anderson) Pedersen. She attended grade school in rural Foster County and then went to Carrington High School. After graduating, she attended Concordia College for one year.
On March 17, 1955, Norma married Kenneth Stangeland in McHenry, ND. They resided in Juanita for 35 years, where they enjoyed a life of farming. They had a daughter, Sue and two sons, Rodney and Douglas.

They enjoyed traveling and playing bridge. She was involved in the Trinity Lutheran Church in many ways; her favorite was quilting on Monday afternoons. For many years, she enjoyed going to the Senior Citizen Center to socialize, eat and play cards, games and bingo. Her gardening, flowers and family were very important to her.

So sorry to hear of Norma’s passing. God bless her memory and give you comfort during this difficult time of loss.
Aunt Norma was a very sweet and special person. I remember visiting them in Juanita. Norma made an awesome brownie cookie with chocolate frosting. Thinking of cousins Sue, Rodney and Doug during this time.
