Norma Pearl Chase

December 23, 1925 ~ November 7, 2016

In the early hours of November 7, 2016, our loving mother was taken to her heavenly home for a joyful reunion by her eternal companion, 12 years to the day of his passing.

Norma was born on December 23, 1925 to Hyrum Frederick and Etta Pearl Brown Jensen in her family home in Ogden, Utah.  She married her eternal companion, LaVere F. Chase on April 27, 1946.  Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on October 16, 1961.  They enjoyed 58 years together.

Norma was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Riverdale, Utah 6th Ward.  She held various callings throughout her life, including Relief Society President and visiting teacher.

She had an incredible memory and a gift for storytelling.  Norma loved music, writing poetry, painting, crocheting, watching old time movies, handy work, and playing her favorite game – Bingo.  She loved to travel, especially to Hawaii.

Norma lived in many states and in Tripli, Libya, while supporting LaVere’s military career.  She was a 26 year Breast Cancer survivor.  During her lifetime, Norma overcame many life challenges.

Norma is survived by her children; David (Carol) Chase, Steven (Cathy) Chase, Paulette (Rick) Christiansen, and Tim Chase; 15 grandchildren, 39 great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, her son, Lawrence F. Chase and her siblings: Arville F. Jensen, Betty Jean Jensen, and Melvin E. Ohlson.
