In her spare time she loved quilting, golfing and reading. Norma never missed an episode of ‘Corner Gas’ or turned down a cup of coffee, especially when accompanied by a piece of banana bread.

Norma is survived by her three children Collin Tindall, Heather Dziuba (Pat),and Laurie Selwood (Duncan). She was the proud grandmother to Meredith, Ben and Emily. Norma’s immediate family included siblings Ronald Ivanco (Dorthydeceased), Glenda Weber (deceased, Ray), Robert Ivanco, Jack Ivanco (Lindadeceased), Barbara Valuck (Darryl-deceased), Duane Ivanco (Connie), Garry Ivanco (Nadine), Patricia Bascom (Ray) and many nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will take place at the Fairmont Mountainside Golf Course on Saturday, September 23rd at 1PM.
