Norma Jahn was born February 11, 1935, in Hewitt, Texas to Jim W. Ashcraft and
Lizzie A. Ashcraft (nee Kamman). She graduated from Lorena High School in
1953. Norma married Stanley Louis Jahn on June 2, 1953. They were able to
share 57 years together, before Stanley passed on March 28, 2011.

Born in Hewitt, Texas, Norma and her family moved to several locations in Texas
including Meadogrove, Pearl, Goldwaithe, Crystal City, Waco, and eventually
Lorena. She started playing piano in third grade and in her teen years played
piano every Sunday at her father’s Nazarene church, where he was the pastor.

Norma was a homemaker and raised three children who all became engineers.
She enjoyed playing many card games (with bridge being her favorite) and playing
piano. Another joy she had was cooking Sunday dinners for family & friends. She
also had an extended family of cats - all the cats in Norma’s neighborhood knew
she would be there if they needed food or a safe place to stay.

Norma was preceded in death by her husband of 57 years, Stanley Louis Jahn;
her daughter, Karen Elaine Jahn Villers; her grandson, Andrew Thomas Jahn; and
her grandson Chandler Jahn; and her daughter-in-law Cindy Jahn.

Survivors include her son, Phil Jahn; son Timothy Jahn and wife Lisa;
granddaughter, Casey Villers; grandson, Matthew Jahn, and wife Tammara;
grandson Brandon Jahn, and her great-granddaughter Odessa Jahn.

Norma was a loving daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend to many. She
will be missed by all, but never forgotten.
