Norma Bever
Norma Bever, known to many as "Grandma B" found her way home to Heaven the 
morning of May 19, 2020, at 100 years old.

Norma was born November 21, 1919 to Arlow and Mildred (Leak) Aves in Sebewa 
township. She was the second of four sisters, following older sister Elaine 
Austin and followed by sister Christine Towner ad Marjorie Swiler. Norma 
married Marshall Bever on October 12, 1940, who was lated killed in battle in 
WW II. Norma never remarried.

Norma is reunited with her parents, all three sisters, and husband, but 
leaves a large family.

Norma and Marshall had two daughters, Barbara Teichmann and Arlene Sandborn; 
seven grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, and eight great-great-
grandchildren.

Norma lived her life by sharing everything she had. She was an active member 
of the Sebewa Baptist Church, Ionia and Hastings 4-H for over 40 years and 
served anyone who walked through her front door. She was happiest when he was 
laughing about the past, watching the birds and swaying Hollyhocks through 
the window,, being surrounded by friends and family, and sharing an iced tea 
or her famous apple pie squares.

Grandma B did not fear death, maybe it is because she will never fully die. 
The sunshine in her soul created a light in everyone she met, a light that no 
darkness could defeat. One could not fit the century of Norma's life into a 
novel, let alone a short obituary.

Please help celebrate Norma Bever's life with her family at a later date. 
Special thanks to Emily Sandborn for putting together the obituary for 
Grandma.
