Norma was born May 30, 1945, in Waterloo, the daughter of Clarence J. and Della Schilling.  She was united in marriage to Leonard Buser on February 24, 1968, at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Cedar Rapids.  Norma worked for many years as in-home day-care provider, until her retirement in 1985.   She was a member of the Red Hats and St. Jude Catholic Church.  She enjoyed gardening, flowers, cooking, trying new recipes and most of all spending time with her family.

Norma is survived by her husband of over 53 years Leonard; her children Sandy (Don) Kluth and Mike Buser both of Cedar Rapids; three grandchildren Cody Adams and Kelsey (Drew) Anderson, and Mariah Buser; a great-grandson Mason Anderson; her brother Glen (Joy) Schilling; and her sister-in-law Joann Schilling.

She was preceded in death by her parents, daughter-in-law Paula Buser, her brothers Raymond, Richard (Georgia) and Merle Schilling, and her sisters Shirley (Jim) Hanson and Helen (Bruce) Cregeen.

Memorials may be directed to the family.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at MeadowView and Hospice of Mercy for their loving care for Norma.
