She grew up with an unwavering dedication to family values, a testament to the loving environment cultivated by her parents and her brother, George, who predeceased her. Norine's life was beautifully intertwined with that of her devoted husband, Norman Holmberg. They were married on May 4, 1969, and together they celebrated over 27 years of marriage, raising their three cherished sons and building a home filled with laughter, love, and warmth. Norman passed away on December 11, 1996, but the love they shared continued to inspire all who knew them. Throughout her life, Norine was known for her warmth and infectious smile. Her quick wit and unique sense of humor brought joy to many, and her caring nature was evident in her professional and personal endeavors. She found fulfillment in her work as a receptionist at various veterinary clinics, healthcare businesses, and doctors' offices, where she cultivated many wonderful friendships.

She leaves behind a loving family, including her sons: Robert Holmberg and his wife Rhonda, along with grandchildren Trevor and Hagen; Norman Holmberg and his wife Heather, with grandchildren Kevin and his wife Raquel, Chris, Katey,and great-granddaughter Kennedy; and Raymond Holmberg and his wife Emily, with grandchildren Benjamin and Lila. Her beloved dog, Nancy, was also a constant companion, offering comfort and loyalty. Norine is predeceased by her parents, Ray and Ida Jensen, her husband, Norman Holmberg, and her brother, George Jensen. Though her physical presence is no longer with us, her spirit will forever reside in the hearts of her family and friends.

Friends and family are invited to gather at the First Methodist Church of Maiden, located at 303 North Main Avenue, Maiden, NC 28650.
