Patsy "Patty" Norris

June 24, 1942 - April 10, 2019

Patsy Ruth Fulford Norris passed away in Dillon, MT on April 10, 2019 at home surrounded by her children. She was born June 24, 1942 in Helena, MT to Virginia Fulford and Mac Fulford. She spent her childhood on the family ranch in Sheridan and later moved to Glen, MT where she lived with Art and Myrtle Reichle. She was blessed to be raised with her cousin and best friend Judy Pittman. She attended Beaverhead County High School where she met and later married Ronnie Norris. Together they raised 4 children in Melrose. After her and Ronnie divorced, she moved to Boulder, MT and started working at the Boulder River School and Hospital. She spent the next 26 years sharing her special brand of love with the residences there. Patsy loved spending time in her yard planting flowers in her garden and decorating for the various holidays. But above all her greatest love and joy was her grandchildren and great grandchildren. In Grandma Pat’s world, there was no such thing as a “step” child. All children were welcomed with open arms and never once doubted how much she loved them. She is leaving behind a living legacy of young adults that were blessed to have been touched by her love. She was preceded in death by her parents and Art and Myrtle Reichle. She is survived by sisters Debbie Walker and Connie Carter and brother Larry Fulford. Daughters Lisa (Leo) Jimenez of Dillon, MT, and Tonya (Travis ) Hauck of East Helena, MT. Sons Randy (Alison) Norris of Dillon, MT and Jamie Norris of Dillon, MT. Grandchildren: Lacey Norris, Valorie (Nate) Finch, Cory Norris, Daniel (Jennifer) Norris, Bailey Jimenez, Wendy (Jeremy) Alvarez, Ashley (Jon) Parker, Logun (Rachel)Norris, Dakota Norris, Kaitlynn (Anthony) Child, Ash Norris, Zach Dumezich, Hailey Roberts, Makenizy Roberts, Taustin Hauck, Trevon Hauck, Noah Hauck, Abby Hauck. Great grandchildren: Beau Reynolds, Behra Hutchinson, Jase Alvarez, Tristan Alvarez, Lillianna Valenzula, CJ Valenzula, Arianna Valenzula, Aubree Child, Owen Child, Charlie Norris, Caysen Duschanek. She was looking forward to the expected birth of two more great grandsons later this summer: Patrick Norris and Wyatt Child. We believe that she got to meet them first and is cuddling them until we get to meet them.
