Norma Francis Morgan was born November 21, 1921 in Crookston, MN to Walter and Irene (Slyter) Morgan. She was baptized and confirmed at 1 ^st Presbyterian Church in Crookston, MN. Norma attended a small country school and graduated from Northwest School of Agriculture. Following her schooling, she worked for a few years in St. Paul, MN. Norma was united in marriage on May 20, 1944 to William Hoerner in California where William was stationed during his military service. After the war, they moved back to the Crookston area and began farming. Norma worked hard raising their family while assisting as much as possible with farm chores. They retired in 1980 and in 1987 bought a lake home on Munson Lake near Detroit Lakes.  Norma and William enjoyed their retirement years together, spending their summers on the lake and wintering in Mesa, AZ. William passed away in January of 2000.

Norma enjoyed gardening, fishing, flea marketing with William, reading and playing cards with her family and friends. She loved family gatherings and spending time with all of her grandchildren.
