Norma Jean Gregory, a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away on February 18, 2026, at the age of 69, in Houston, Minnesota. Born on July 2, 1956, in her beloved hometown of Houston, Norma's life was a vibrant tapestry of love, laughter, and resilience.
The daughter of Orville and Maxine Nabor, Norma was raised in a family where love and strength were cornerstones, values she carried with her throughout her life. She joins her parents, her brother Marvin, her sister Charlene, and her beloved daughter Trisha in eternal peace.
Norma was a remarkable woman known for her quick wit and feisty attitude, traits that endeared her to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Her sense of humor and spirited nature were a source of joy and inspiration, lighting up the lives of those around her. She was a force to be reckoned with, never shying away from speaking her mind or standing up for what she believed in.
For 20 years, Norma served as a dedicated bus driver for the Davis County Community School District. Her commitment to her work and the safety of her passengers showcased her nurturing spirit and steadfast reliability. Norma was not just a bus driver; she was a confidante, a mentor, and a cherished presence in the lives of countless children and their families.
Norma's legacy is carried on by her surviving children: Timothy, Trent, Todd, Tammy, and Tony Gregory, who were her pride and joy. Her love and guidance continue to shape their lives in countless ways. She is also survived by her siblings, Ron, Ivan, Harold, and Shirley Nabor, who shared in the laughter and love of a closely-knit family.
The joy of Norma's life extended to her ten grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren, each of whom she adored. She filled their lives with warmth, stories, and laughter, leaving behind a treasure trove of memories that will be cherished for generations.
Norma's departure leaves a profound void in the hearts of those who knew her, yet her spirit and the lessons she imparted will forever remain. Her legacy is one of love, humor, and an unyielding zest for life, encouraging all who knew her to embrace each day with courage and joy.
A celebration of Norma's life will be held at a later date, where family and friends will gather to honor her memory and share in the stories that made her life so extraordinary. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests contributions to be made to the American Heart Association, in memory of Norma, to support ongoing research and awareness.
Rest in peace, Norma Jean Gregory, knowing that your life was a beacon of love and laughter, and your memory will be eternally cherished.
