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 four children in Melrose. After Patsy and Ronnie divorced, she moved to Boulder and started working at the Boulder River School and Hospital. She spent the next 26 years sharing her special brand of love with the residents 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.
