Norma J. was born Sept. 9, 1952 in Le Mars, IA, the daughter of Raymond and Cecilia Plendl. She was raised in Sioux City and the Aurora, CO area and graduated from Aurora Central High School in l970.

On Sept. 2, 1998 after a 17 year courtship, Norma was united in marriage with Randy Rosenbaum in Elk Point. They lived in Elk Point for 40 years. She was a member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. She worked in the Clerk’s Office at the Union County Courthouse for over 30 years until her retirement in 2017. She was a very sweet and quick witted woman who enjoyed spending time with her family, going to lunch with her close friends Carol Summervold and Laurie Buum, visiting her lifelong friends Janet Anderson, Maryanne Johnson, Sally Cason and Marlene Vondrak. She loved to read, would spend hours in the nearest book store, and on any nice day you would see her sitting on the front porch reading one of her many books.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Cecilia Plendl; a son, Ryan Begnoche; and a brother, Paul Plendl.
