Obituary Online notes for Norma Ellen (Spouse 1)
Norma Ellen Davis Loxley, age 94, died peacefully at home, surrounded by family on July 28th, 2025.
She was born on January 10th, 1931 to the late Earl and Helen Davis.
She was also preceded in death by her husband, Bill, and her grandson, Michael.
She is survived by her children Cindy (Keith) Stewart and David (Rose) Loxley; her grandchildren Sarah (Julie) Stewart and Emily (Jim) Lowry; great-grandchildren James, Michael, and William Lowry; and many loving family members and good friends.
Norma grew up as an only child in Marietta, Ohio.
She graduated from Marietta High School and took a job at ODOT in Marietta where she met future husband, Bill, a recent graduate of OU Engineering Program.
They were married in 1951 and had their first child, Cindy, and later a second child, David.
She was a stay-at-home mother, but also was Bill’s secretary in support of his business.
She enjoyed her girlfriends in a regular weekly “coffee get together”.
She was on the Devay Elks bowling team, enjoyed bicycling, and singing in the Centerville chorus and Sweet Adelines.
She was a Teacher’s Aide at Normandy Elementary School which she really enjoyed.
Norma, Bill, and several others started Dunsinane Swim club in 1965 where she managed payroll and staff scheduling.
She was a loving wife to Bill, caring mother to her two children, and fun grandma to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She had a quirky sense of humor that everyone loved. She will be greatly missed by all, including the Taco Bell staff
