Norma Rose Henry (nee Walker) of Calgary, AB, passed away on Friday, August 4, 2023, at the age of 75 years.

Norma was born in the St. Andrew parish of Jamaica, West Indies on the 10^th of February 1948. In the 1970’s she immigrated to Canada with her family, initially, residing in Ontario later relocating to the province of Alberta. In the mid 1990’s, Norma moved to Australia and lived in Perth, Western Australia for several years.

Upon returning to Canada in 1998, in her early 50’s, Norma pursued a dream of hers to become a nurse. She enrolled, then graduated from Bow Valley College with a Practical Nurse Diploma – becoming an LPN.

In her spare time, Norma loved doing needlework, quilting, and baking – especially her well known Jamaican Christmas Fruit Cake. Attending church and bible study was very important to Norma and she found a loving church family at Red Deer Lake United Church.

She will be most remembered for her wide, bright welcoming smile.
