St. George, Utah - Norma Anne Haymore Hoge passed away May 8, 2017 in St. George, UT. She was born on October 7, 1917 in Mesa, AZ to John Lester Haymore and Lucille McClellan.  She married Scott Wahlen Hoge on November 22, 1941 in Evanston, WY.  He passed away April 6, 1979.  In 1980, she married Erin Neils Howard in Holladay, UT.  He passed away on January 14, 1994.

Norma enjoyed being part of group activities.  She was a member of The Daughters of the American Revolution, Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, Salt Lake Council of Women, Ladies of the Elks, Home Culture Club, Red Hats and various travel groups.

She served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Independence, Missouri and a service mission at the LDS Church office building as a hostess.  She volunteered as an operator for the American Red Cross.

Norma lived a full life and enjoyed every minute of it.  She traveled extensively and made friends everywhere she went.  She was an accomplished seamstress and as her eyesight failed she made knit hats.  All who touched her life in later years received a hat.

She is survived by her children: Beth Ann and Jim Williams, William and Linda Hoge, Robert and Susan Hoge, and Brent and Judy Hoge.  She is also survived by Erin's daughters: Darlene Foley, Annette Slade, and Kathleen Kristensen; and fifteen grandchildren and twenty-five great grandchildren will also miss her very much. She had one brother, Lester Demarcus Haymore who passed away in 1990.

The family would like to thank the staff at Canyon Home Care and Hospice and The Retreat at Sunbrook for the remarkable care she received the last few months of her life.  She felt surrounded by love.

Graveside services will be held Saturday, May 13, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. at the Holladay Memorial Park, 4900 South Memory Lane, Salt Lake City, Utah.
