Norma J. Boyer Hassel, 85, passed away on Oct. 16, 2023, at Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne.
She was born in Warsaw on Feb. 27, 1938, to Donald Barnhart and Leatha Valentine Barnhart.
Norma was married to Jay Boyer on June 30, 1957, until his sudden passing in September of 1987. She later was blessed to marry again on Jan. 6, 2000, to Dr. Charles E. Hassel, of Bremen.
Norma had an extraordinary life filled with love, determination and selflessness. She was a graduate of North Webster High School and proudly remained a lifelong resident of the area. She was a very active and hardworking person who dedicated her time to various endeavors, which left indelible impacts on the lives of those around her.
Growing up on the farm as a hardworking young lady, she then worked for Kosciusko REMC for a brief time. After that, she remained a homemaker until she was widowed. She then worked for Dr. Richard Carman, in Warsaw, for 12 years.
Norma was most known for her immeasurable devotion to her family and friends. Her strength came from the Lord and her faith, which helped her throughout any trial or tribulation that came her way.
Always there to lend an ear or fix a dinner for fellowship around the dining room table, she was known by everyone for her amazing skills at preparing a wonderful home-cooked meal.
Norma is survived by her husband, Dr. Charles E. Hassel; her son, Troy (Sheila) Boyer, of Broken Arrow, Okla.; her daughter, Michelle (Shelleigh) Boyer, of Syracuse; three grandsons: Brooks Boyer, of Broken Arrow; J. Braden Boyer, of Fort Smith, Ariz.; Braxton Studabaker, of Milford; great-grandson, Ryker Boyer; and Donna Leonhard, Fort Wayne (sister). She is also survived by three stepchildren and their families including four step grandchildren. Norma was preceded in death by her husband, Jay D. Boyer; and parents, Donald and Leatha Barnhart.
Titus Funeral Home of North Webster is entrusted with the care of Norma. Visitation will be held on Nov. 11 at 1 p.m. with a Celebration of Life service starting at 2 p.m. at the North Webster Church of God.
In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to the North Webster Church of God or the North Webster Community Center.
