Norma Henny Child

Norma Henny Jensen Child born to Sverre and Svanhilde Jensen on November 18, 1925 passed away in the early morning hours of December 1, 2015—on the birth date of her deceased eternal companion F. David Child.

Norma lived a rich and full life. Many of her childhood years were in Norway before WWII. Education was paramount. Norma paid her way through the University of Minnesota. After her sweetheart returned from the war, she transferred to the U of U and graduated with honors in Linguistics. Norma and Dave were married in the Logan Temple on August 7, 1946. They had four beautiful children: Dave, Jr. (Jody), Todd (ReNae), Darrell (Sharon) and Loretta Gale.  Norma is preceded in death by her husband Dave; son Todd; her parents; two brothers Arne, Robert; daughter-in-law, Carol. She is survived by her children, her brother Ronald, 21 grandchildren, 30 great grandchildren and her beloved 3.3 lb dog, Timmy.

In 1958, Norma and Dave founded Olympus Insurance Agency. Norma’s smarts combined with Dave’s sales skills successfully built the business. Norma worked at Olympus until shortly before her death. Norma always provided opportunities for growth to those around her. Of significance, she leaves a legacy of hope, inspiration, and serenity to an untold number of souls struggling with depression, pain and addiction.
