Norene or Mom or Granny (whatever you called her) was a sweet, special lady. She was born and raised on a farm outside Lockhart, Texas. She became a wife and mom at an early age, then a widow at 19. She graduated from Lockhart High School during a very difficult year, emotionally and socially, while keeping her family together. After marrying Buddy at age 22, they moved to Corpus Christi. Norene raised her three children to be distinct individuals who were always nothing but themselves. She helped raise her grandkids, found joy in her great grandkids, and kept up with her great-great grandkids on Facebook.
Life might not have been easy for Norene but she gave it her all and was inspiring to those around her. She loved wildflowers (specifically bluebonnets), traveling, watching TV (especially Cowboys football), stock car racing, reading, and sewing. She loved her family and enjoyed nothing more than seeing and spending time with them. She will be missed by many but all who mourn her will know they were loved by her.
