Norma Teudt Fernelius Crompton, 94, passed away in Panguitch Tuesday evening, January 3, 2012. Norma was born January 23, 1917, to Charles Fernelius and Agnes Teudt in South Weber, Davis Co., Utah. She married David Ellsworth Crompton on June 21, 1939, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They raised their three children Barry, Diane, and Janis in Sparks, Nevada, where he worked for the railroad. Norma worked for Ross Photo for several years in Sparks. She was widowed at the young age of 42, when David died June 1, 1959. After raising her children, she followed Janis to Provo, Utah, and worked for a photographer. She later moved to Cedar City, Utah, and lived with her daughter Diane and family. In November 1976, she moved to Panguitch and worked at Western Auto which was owned by Lowell and Janis Henrie—son-in-law and daughter. She remained in Panguitch until her passing.

Norma was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She served in Ward and Stake Young Women’s, Primary, and chorister positions throughout her life. She loved being in the Panguitch Rhythm Band. Her passions were crocheting, playing board games, reading, listening to music, working jigsaw and crossword puzzles, and being with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Norma was a candy maker and the family always looked forward to her Christmas candy at Christmas time.

Norma was preceded in death by her parents, husband, brothers, Claire and Gustave Fernelius, sisters Lola Fernelius and Veda Moss, and daughter-in-law Kay Crompton. She is survived by her son Barry Crompton of Sparks, Nevada; and daughters Diane (Harold) Shirley of Cedar City and Janis (Lowell) Henrie of Panguitch. She adored her 14 grandchildren and 47 great grandchildren, and could remember the birthdays and anniversaries of each.
