Obituary for Mrs. Norma Gray Broome Great Falls Norma Gray Broome, also affectionately known as Grannie, entered life triumphant on July 16 at the age of 95. Born on October 8, 1922 in Chester County, she was the daughter of the late Zeb and Ola Gray. She was married for over seventy years to the late Blair W. Broome. Together they left an amazing legacy of love for family and friends. They had 3 daughters, Anne (Mike) Maginn, Debbie Shealy, and Tina Jackson, who were lovingly raised with a strong Christian foundation and a belief in the value of education. Norma, along with her late husband Blair, ran an independent grocery store for over thirty-five years. She was a highly skilled seamstress, who loved making clothes for her family, creating crafts and toys for her grandchildren and great grandchildren, and sewing beautiful quilts that are family treasures. Playing cards was a favorite pastime, and she especially loved playing bridge. She also enjoyed playing golf in her younger years and took pride in having won the ladies golf championship at the Republic Golf Course. Norma was a member of Mt. Dearborn United Methodist Church, where she was a founding member of the Lamplighters Class.
