Norma Hillyard
August 28, 1909 — March 5, 2012
Norma Hillyard
I am standing by the seashore.A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze
And starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength,
And I stand and watch until at last she hangs like a speck of white cloud
Just where the sun and sky come down to mingle with each other.
The someone at my side says, 'There she goes! Gone where?
Gone from my sight-that is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull and spar
As she was when she left my side
And just as able to bear her load of living freight to the places of destination
Her diminished size is in me, not her.
And just at the moment when someone at my sides says,
'There she goes!,
There are eyes watching her coming,
And other voices ready to take up the glad shout:
'Here she comes!'
On March 5, 2012, at the young age of 102 ½ , Norma set sail on her final journey.
There to meet her on the other shore, her parents Silas and Amanda Caron Ricks, her sweetheart Alton, and many brothers and sisters.
Leaving behind two daughters, Faye (Richard) Mathews, St George, and Maxine Karren, Providence. 2 brothers, Floyd and Robert and one sister Edna. 8 Grandchildren, 29 Great- Grandchildren and 45 Great-Great-Grandchildren.
BONVOYAGE Sweet Lady!
We love you and will miss you always.
Special thanks to all of the Logan Nursing Home Staff for all the wonderful care given to our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
A viewing will be held on Friday evening, March 9, 2012 from 6:30 to 7:30 PM at the Allen-Hall Mortuary. Graveside services will be held at 11:00 AM in the Smithfield City Cemetery on Saturday, March 10, 2012. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.allenmortuaries.net
