Norma had a wonderful sense of humor and never lacked a funny story or a joke to tell. No task was too big or too small for her to tackle. She especially enjoyed fishing, gardening and woodworking.

She is survived by a son, Richard Bassett and his wife, Beverly, of North Anson; three daughters, Cheryl McKenney of San Jose, Calif., Linda Thomas and her husband, Aaron, of Madison, and Jan Paine and her husband, Jeff Sr., of Madison; grandchildren Michelle Wood, Lori Goodwin, Jamie Winn, Jeremy Paine, Brandon Cates, Jeff Paine Jr., and Jenne Paine; great-grandchildren Victoria Wood, Adam Goodwin, Ryan Goodwin, Ricky Winn, Zack Paine, Spencer Paine, Coleman Paine, Nach Cates, Mitch Cates and McKay Thomas; several nieces and nephews; and special neighbors Raphael Grant and Jana Kitchin.
