Family suggests memorial contributions to the Tina Norem Memorial Fund.

Tina was born March 12, 1968, the daughter of Clarence and Frances (Dvorak) Norem, in Albert Lea, Minn.

Tina was a very loving and caring person.  She enjoyed spending time with her friends, loved going shopping, looking through her magazines, and watching television.  She was always making people laugh and had a wonderful smile and infectious laugh.  When she pointed at you and spoke in her own language, you knew she had something to say.  She loved to pack her purses with anything that she thought was important.  She was very serious in the morning when she told you NO!

Tina was always excited about getting her hair and nails done, going with her friends on their annual trips to the Clay County Fair and Jordan Creek Mall in West Des Moines, where she would always come home with a purse.  She gave great hugs and kisses, enjoyed movies, and was very strong-willed and knew what she wanted.  She loved her khaki pants and her wardrobe consisted of khaki, khaki and more khaki.  She will be missed and remembered every day.

Tina is survived by her friends and family at Opportunity Village.

She was preceded in death by her parents.

Ward-Van Slyke Colonial Chapel, Clear Lake, was in charge of arrangements.
