STUTTGART - Norma Lucile Knoll Oliver, a remarkable woman of 99 years, departed this world on April 29, 2024, leaving a legacy that will forever be etched in our hearts. She has ascended to heaven, finally receiving her angel wings after a lifetime of selfless love and devotion to her family and faith. Her unwavering dedication to her husband, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren is a testament to the strength of her spirit and the depth of her love.
