Norma Elaine Cobb, 96, St. Joseph, Missouri, passed away Tuesday, September 19, 2023.
She was born December 10, 1926 in Bedford, Iowa to Mark and Lulu Robinson.
She married Robert Paul Cobb.
Norma worked as a teacher at the Easton, Missouri school district for 20 years and provided daycare for many families along the way.
She was preceded in death by her husband, sisters, and parents.
Survivors include her children, Craig Cobb, Catherine Petersen (Alan), Kelly Cobb (Michelle), Chris Cobb (Lisa); 8 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, her sister Margie Sanders and numerous nieces and nephews.
Norma loved being in the outdoors doing gardening, bird watching and fishing. She had a zest for life that was immediately felt by everyone who met her beautiful big smile and infectious laugh. Her adventurous nature included flying around with her husband to the next Shriner event or landing in a farmer’s field to spend time at the family lake house at the Lake of the Ozarks. She traveled near, yet far and if you would ask her, she would most likely say, “oh yes I’ve been there and done that” as she toasted with a Bourbon & Pepsi. She was an avid KU Basketball and Kansas City Chiefs fan. In her late years, she would look around a room and proclaim to be the oldest, yet she looked to be the youngest. Norma had unconditional love and care for her family and close friends and thus she was often referred to as an “angel”. Her grandchildren would often tell her a fun and crazy story just to get her to say her infamous “WOO”. We are sure she is storming heaven with exactly those words.
Graveside Farewell Services and Interment 10:00 A.M. Monday, September 25, Memorial Park Cemetery. The procession will leave from Meierhoffer Funeral Home & Crematory.
