Norma Enola Clayton was born November 25, 1919 in Linn Grove, Iowa to William J. and Lula (Otten) Clayton. Her parents purchased a Variety Store in Humboldt, IA in 1932 and they moved to Humboldt. She graduated from Humboldt High School in 1937 and went to work in her parents’ store. On December 25, 1941, Norma married Floyd Brandsgard. Following her marriage she continued to work in her parents’ store. In 1946 her parents retired. Norma and Floyd bought the store and went into partnership with Norma’s sister Ora and her husband Ed. Floyd and Norma operated the store together until August 1962 when Ora and Ed sold out their shares in the business. Norma and Floyd operated the store until 1979 when they closed out the business and retired.
Norma was an active member of Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church. She served as a Sunday School teacher, Altar Guild, and Chairman of her Circle for a number of years. Norma was very generous with her time and her heart. She was very quick to volunteer both at her church and the hospital whenever needed. She enjoyed playing golf and bridge and watching the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Norma is survived by her daughter Kris (Bill) Hansen; grandsons Jay Hansen (Merri Powell) of Humboldt, IA; Aaron Hansen of Cedar Falls, IA; and Doug (Ashley) Hansen of Kasson, MN; one great grandson Lukas Hansen. She was preceded in death by her husband, Floyd, her parents, one sister, and one brother.
