Terry G. Byrd (1954)

Wilma Byrd Norris was my father’s youngest sister and I would like to write a short summary of her life after leaving MHS.
She first attended two years at McCook Junior College before marrying Bernie Norris and moving to Southern California where Bernie found employment in the aircraft industry. Then when WWII broke out Bernie was drafted and assigned in the South Pacific for several years with no leaves to visit home. During that time Wilma worked in a chemical laboratory.
When Bernie returned he resumed his career with Lockheed Aircraft and they bought a new house in Panorama City produced two children. A daughter and then a son. That resulted in five grandchildren that were Wilma’s pride and joy.
After raising her children she worked as the secretary for a church school operated by their church. She continued that until health issues intervened
