Norma Dannenberg

“Life is like a Merry-Go-Round – and I’m not ready to get off the horse yet”.

Norma Jean Haas Dannenberg, born to Zelpha Mae Smith Haas and Clifford Andrew Haas in Smith County, Kansas. She was the 5^th  of 10 children. She was raised a Kansas farm girl and was always very proud of that.

She married Raymond Oliver Dannenberg, November 27, 1953. Norma and Raymond lived in several cities during their life together, including Rifle, Colorado, Laramie, Wyoming, and Salt Lake City, Utah. They were the proud parents of five children:

Brenda Payne (John)

Alan Lee Dannenberg

Tammy Johnson (Jerry)

Cary Dannenberg

Gary Dannenberg (Lisa)

Norma and Raymond “Pete”, loved square dancing and traveled the US attending Square Dancing Conventions, with the Checkmates Square Dancing Club. The last seven years of her life was spent at Carrington Court Assisted Living, where she made many friends and considered them family. They all said she was the SPARK that kept everyone on their toes.

Mom lived life on her own terms and at one time stated  “I told them I’m here to raise a little hell”.

Norma is preceded in death by her husband Raymond; sons Alan & Cary; and grandson Christopher.

We would like to thank the staff and caregivers at Carrington Court and also Active Hospice, who took wonderful care of our mom.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, June 13, 2020 at McDougal Funeral Home. Interment, Gaylord Cemetery, Gaylord, Kansas.
