Age 95
Norma Ruth Pratt was born to Martin and Ethel Snow at Millertown Junction, Newfoundland. Preceded in death by her husband Melville W. Pratt, grandson Canyon T. Holycross, brothers Winston Snow, Jack Snow and Ross Snow, sisters Cora Mitchell and Joyce Smith.

Norma had an incomparable command of the King’s English and was a formidable opponent in Scrabble.
Her mental acuity was sustained through her love of reading and keeping up with current events. Norma was a loving and caring friend, wife, mother, and grandmother. She took immense joy in connecting with others, maintaining lifelong relationships, and creating a loving home. Her life exemplified the best of humanity, and she will be greatly missed by those whose lives she touched.
The family wishes to thank the Devoted Team at Bellevue Hillcrest Hospice for their supportive care.

Norma will forever have a special place in my heart. She is missed by all who knew her.
Norma was a lovely soul. It was my privilege to know her.
Norma and I were grandmothers -in-law and shared Sharon’s beautiful boys. I was happy to call her a friend and think of her as a perfect lady through and through. She was a baker of ohenomenal cookies which she often shared with my husband Ed, who was a known cookie addict. RIP Norma.. You will be missed.
Oh I am so happy to have met and know Norma over the years of her sitting in my styling chair. She has been called home to our Holy Father and surely will be enjoying high tea with her heavenly family.
Holy Father please bless your child coming home with your grace through our Lord. Amen

We just heard about Aunt Norma’s passing this past weekend which led my daughter Vicki searching for and finding Her obituary. We wish to pass along our sincere condolences to Aunt Norma’s Daughters and their Families! I have enjoyed many telephone conversations with your Mom over the past several years, the latest being on Her birthday in June, sharing in some of Her treasured memories of an earlier life and visits to her home province of Newfoundland.
From our chats, I feel She had enjoyed her life, was proud of Her beloved Girls and their Families, and was quite at peace with and prepared for the final end whenever it was to be. I hope the Ending was as peaceful as such a fine Lady as Aunt Norma was deserving of! Our thoughts are with you all!
