Norma Marilyn Reiser was born on October 3, 1934 in New Ulm to William & Olivia (Gluth) Reiser. She graduated from New Ulm High School in 1952. On May 5, 1995, Norma was united in marriage to Wallace Prader in Minneapolis and the couple later moved to New Ulm. After graduation in 1952, Norma moved to Minneapolis where she worked for Woolworth in the office for many years. Later Norma worked in manufacturing doing inspection of electrical soldering products.

Norma enjoyed traveling, sight-seeing, camping and all types of fishing from the little ones to the big ones. She enjoyed dancing and listening to all types of music. She always enjoyed watching and feeding the wildlife in her yard.

Norma enjoyed meeting and talking with people. She was kind and generous and created a connection with those she came in contact with and made others feel important. She strived to create opportunities for family and friends to come together to strengthen their bonds by hosting gatherings whenever possible.

Most important to Norma was her family and her 4-legged fur babies.

Thank you, Norma, for being the glue that kept our family together all these years – you will be missed!
