Norma Rose was born September 25, 1926 in Waterbury, CT. Her father, David Harris Feinn was in the produce shipping business; and her mother, Dora Brandvein Feinn, immigrated from Russia as a little girl and taught piano lessons in exchange for English lessons. Norma received her undergraduate degree in economics from Mills College in Oakland, CA and was a rare female in her era for earning a master’s degree in economics from Boston University. Before she married, Norma traveled extensively with her sister, Barbara Feinn, to Europe, Mexico, and other exciting places. After college, Norma worked in Boston and New York. One of her jobs was as a statistician at the Federal Reserve in New York. Norma met Elliott in 8th grade in Waterbury, CT. They reconnected after the Korean War and married in 1955. Norma held many jobs throughout her married years, including high school and college mathematics instructor in CT and OH, computer analyst for Clark Equipment in Lima, OH, and 30 years as office manager of the Encore Theatre, where both she and Elliott also enjoyed acting. Norma volunteered in many capacities, including president of the National Council of Jewish Women in CT, at her temple, and with many of the activities her three daughters were involved in. Norma and Elliott also enjoyed serving as poll workers during elections. She was a lifelong athlete with golf, tennis, cycling, walking, and more. She loved to play bridge and travel. Norma was artistic and created most of the paintings in her home. She loved to reupholster furniture, build picture frames, and sew; and she baked the best birthday cakes ever. Norma valued her wonderful friends and community in Lima, making the 36 years she lived there some of the happiest of her life.
