Bellevue's Norma Balzhiser, loving mother
Norma M. Schwerman Balzhiser was blessed with a talent for music. She played piano and ukulele for friends and family - or for herself, while she was waiting for laundry or cooking dinner.
"She used to play the piano by ear," said a daughter, Joyce Von Bokern of Bellevue. "Her mother taught piano when she was a child, but my mother always said she didn't practice enough."

Mrs. Balzhiser was a member of St. Anthony Church in Bellevue and its Altar Society.
"She just was a very easy-to-get-along-with person, just sweet and loving," Ms. Von Bokern said. "I think she always looked to the good side and always gave someone the benefit of the doubt. She was never one to jump and criticize right away."
