Norna Faye Morris, 82, a former Halfway resident, died Oct. 11, 2002, after a long illness. She had been in Marquis Care at Mount Tabor in Portland for a year.
Because of her love of the ocean and lighthouses, there will be a private family memorial at the beach, which will also be her final resting place.
Norna was born at Halfway on Aug. 21, 1920, to Warren and Lillie Makinson. She was raised at Halfway and graduated from high school there. Norna was very proud that her family members were Halfway pioneers.
She was an avid collector of cups, having collected them from all over the world. She will always be remembered by her family and friends for her eccentric dress, especially her shoes.
Norna was preceded in death by her two husbands, Henry Moulton and Ed Morris; seven brothers; a sister; a grandson; one great-grandson; and one great-granddaughter.
Survivors include two sons, Dale Moulton and his wife, Rae, of Union and Delbert Moulton and his wife, Linda, of Baker City; two daughters, Beverly Stultz and her husband, Bill, of Richland and Bonnie Deets and her husband, John, of Clackamas; 10 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Pine Valley Museum through Tami’s Pine Valley Funeral Home, P.O. Box 543, Halfway, OR 97834.
