Norma Garris Obituary
She was born July 27, 1929 to Gustav and Anna-Stina Freeman in Chicago IL. She graduated from the American Art Academy where she met the love of her life, Dan Garris.
They went on to have professional art careers, working side by side until Dan's death.
She had a very accomplished life, but it all paled to her relationship with Jesus. He was her life.
She leaves behind her daughter Diana and husband Bill Upton; daughter Christina and husband Kevin Boyd; four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Just saw this notice today. Love and prayers for Tina and Diana. Your mom was such a blessing. She was a beautiful and caring woman of God. I always looked up to her. I think of her often. Praise God she has joined Dan in Heaven with so many others that have gone ahead. Someday we will all have a Great Reunion!!!!
