Obituary - Norma Lucille (Goshorn) Stimson
Norma Lucille Goshorn Stimson, of Summerville, SC, was called home to Glory
January 28, 2010. She celebrated 87 years of life before embarking into eternity
with Christ
Born in Cane, Illinois, she was the daughter of late Evelyn and William Doran Goshorn.
Norma was a kind and modest woman, gentle in both her words and deeds, and was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She took great delight in her family and in her home... waxing hardwood floors by hand, knitting sweaters for her daughters, making dresses for her granddaughter and even ironing pillowcases with starch. She loved to cook and especially for large gatherings at her and Buddy's lake house in Bonneau, SC. She poured her love for cooking into notable recipes such as cheese cake, fruit cake, fudge and oatmeal cookies. Norma enjoyed flowers and watching birds... she could name them all specifically but especially loved cardinals, chickadees and the little titmouse.
Norma was at home and was surrounded by her children at the time of her passing.
She was a long time resident of Summerville and is survived by three children Connie Stevens and husband Bob, Bonnie Olsen and husband Randy, and Jerry Stimson and wife Linda all of Summerville, seven grandchildren, two step-grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
She was predeceased by her loving husband Claude C. "Buddy" Stimson of whom she was married to for 63 years, by their infant daughter Jayme Lynn, and by her brother William Lewis Goshorn.
Interment was in Summerville Cemetery.
