Norma Jean Bernardy

Norma Bernardy (Rupp) was born in Salem, Oregon on August 17, 1942 to Marie (Weigel) and Edgar Rupp. She passed away at the Salem Hospital on June 16 at age 77. She was preceded by her parents. She grew up in Salem, Oregon and graduated from Sacred Heart Catholic High School. She then attended Merritt Davis School of Commerce to study Dental and Office Management.
The majority of her time was spent raising and caring for her family. Discovering an interest in antique lace, she co-managed a shop in downtown Salem for years. Becoming an expert, she was often asked to help assess and maintain antique linens. She also found time to be an avid traveler both in the USA and abroad. She was a lifelong Christian and a member of St. Edwards Catholic Church in Keizer, Oregon. She served on the Pastoral Council and enjoyed her time planning activities, working with Father Gary and other parishioners. Always willing to help those in need or to provide a helping hand, we were lucky to have experienced her love and support.
