Norma Joy Ohren

It is with great sadness that the family of Norma Joy Ohren (Thoreson), age 67 of Whitehall Montana, announce her passing on the morning of April 10, 2019.

Norma was born in Bagley, MN on May 4th 1951. She grew up with her siblings and worked at the Mileage Café in town where she met and fell in love with Richard Ohren. They married, had a son and set up a homestead in Whitehall, MT. She worked as a waitress/bartender throughout her life. When her mother Grace passed away, Norma and Richard brought her sister Jo into their home to raise. Throughout her life Norma welcomed in many family and friends, she would never turn anyone away and was always the first to help no matter how she was feeling. She was kind, loving and hardworking. Never one to complain, she suffered the effects of Multiple Sclerosis for years. Her philosophy in life was love and also, “there’s always room for ice cream.” She will be greatly missed.
