Norma Pittman

Norma Pittman September 14, 1949 – January 22, 2024 Norma passed away at the age of 74 in Yakima, Washington after battling dementia for several years. She was born September 14, 1949, in Moscow, Idaho to Norman and Harriet (Snow) Snider. After the first 10 years of her life living in Southern California and Yakima, the Snider family settled in Moses Lake where Norma attended school. She graduated Moses Lake High School in 1967 and then from Big Bend Community College in 1969. It was at Big Bend where she was introduced to the love of her life Lynn by a mutual friend. After graduation Norma joined Lynn at Washington State University where the two got engaged. In 1971 she graduated with a degree in Office Administration and the following week they were married at the Moses Lake Presbyterian Church on June 12th. Norma worked at J.C. Penny’s in the accounting department for two years until the birth of her first daughter, Stefanie, and followed by Megan three and half years later. She could not have been happier to become a homemaker, where she was able to stay home to raise their daughters and do the accounting for the family farm. For being a city girl, Norma spent almost 40 years living on the family farm in Warden. She took immense pride in her family, home, and yard. In 2012 Lynn and Norma moved to Moses Lake into the home of her dreams that she helped design. Norma was so excited to become a grandma when her only grandson, Trevin, was born followed by four granddaughters, Lyndsey, Brooklyn, Abigail, and Kaitlyn. Just as she was a loving and devoted mother, she was also a loving and devoted grammy. Her love of life and gifts of serving and giving kept Norma active and busy. She was involved in the Presbyterian Church, P.E.O. Investment Club, and the Quilt Club. Norma had many talents that included sewing, quilting, crafting, and hosting friends and family for holidays and gatherings. She truly was the “hostess with the mostess”! Norma was dedicated to those she loved and was always willing to help and care for anyone. She will be greatly missed by all those that had the privilege of knowing her. Norma is survived by her husband, Lynn of 53 years. Daughters Stefanie (Mike) Lowry and Megan Jevne. Grandchildren Trevin, Brooklyn, Lyndsey Lowry, Abby and Katie Jevne. Siblings Carol (Jon) Lane, Bill (Yvonne) Snider, Marilyn (Ric) Heideger and brother-in law Howard (Wilma) Pittman as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by son-in-law, Chris Jevne. A celebration of life will be held at the Moses Lake Presbyterian Church on February 3rd at 1 pm. Arrangements provided by Kayser Chapel of Memories. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Norma to Yakima-Highgate Together, 5605 W. Chestnut Ave Yakima, WA 90908. The family would like to thank the caregivers at Highgate Cottage for the amazing love, kindness, and dignity they showed Norma during the last two years. They became more than caregivers and we are forever grateful for them. Thank you also to Hospice for their support and care during the last three months.
