Dette Jean Norstrom

Posted

Dette was born September 28, 1933 and died January 13, 2020.

A native South Dakotan; lived 35 years in California and the past 23 years in Arizona.

Survived by her husband, Don; two daughters, Ilene and Debbie; three grandchildren; and one great-granchild.

She worked for the Daily News-Sun with her husband for three years, and also sold antiques and collections as private dealers for 25 years.

Enjoyed baseball that stemmed from childhood. A true Dodgers fan since 1981. Anyone she would meet, enjoyed conversing with her, as she would catch the interest of the listener. Enjoyed 1940’s and 1950’s music including Country. But most of all, she loved to dance! She had a gifted singing voice too!

She leaves behind her dog “Honey”; a rescue retriever mix who misses her greatly.
