Norma Delores Frankenberg
Norma graduated from Barron High School in 1952. She married Ray Frankenberg from Cameron on September 25, 1953, at the United Methodist Church in Barron. That fall they moved to Rhinelander where Ray began his 25 years of broadcasting at WOBT as "Ray Walters"
Norma stayed very busy raising her family and running her home. She was a talented seamstress sewing for many customers in Rhinelander and surrounding area. Many beautiful weddings were the result of her creativity. She went to work outside the home in 1975 as a secretary for the Rhinelander School system where she worked for over 20 years.
After she retired, in addition to being a devoted caregiver to her husband Ray, she also found time to volunteer at St. Mary's Hospital in the gift store and waiting room for many years. She eventually was able to travel to Hawaii, Washington D.C. and many other places with her wonderful friends.
Norma had several hobbies over the years. She and Ray rode snowmobiles, ATVs and motorcycles across the area when they were both able to do so. She was also an avid card player belonging to many Bridge and Canasta card groups. She has many wonderful card playing friends that kept her busy during the later years even getting a card playing group organized at Grace Lodge.
