Norma Perrenoud (Picture included)
Norma Muir Harrison Perrenoud, of Rexburg, Idaho, passed away peacefully on Sept. 16, 2015, at the age of 78. Norma was born on June 22, 1937, in Salem, Idaho, to Melvin Bassett Muir and Mabel Annetta Ricks. She grew up with her seven siblings in Rexburg and had many wonderful, fond experiences with her family and friends. Her family also suffered many hardships and challenges but faced them together as a family with their faith in Jesus Christ. She graduated from Madison High School in 1955. She continued her education in the Ricks College Idaho Falls LDS nursing program and received her Registered Nurse credentials in September of 1958. Norma married Garth Harrison in October of 1958. They had four children: Celeste, Annette, Theresa and Victor. They lived in many places including Pocatello, Idaho; St. Paul, Minn.; Owatonna, Minn.; Grants Pass, Ore.; Taylorsville, Utah; and Vernal, Utah; and she moved back to Rexburg, Idaho, after her divorce from Garth. Norma worked as an RN everywhere she lived. She took the night shift so that she could be home with her children during the day. She loved being a nurse so she could help people when they were in need. Nursing changed a lot during the more than 40 years that Norma worked. She enjoyed learning and growing to become better at her craft, and she enjoyed mentoring many new nurses through the years. In 1976 she moved back to Rexburg with her children, and she worked at Madison Memorial Hospital until 1999. Norma married Kay Perrenoud on Sept. 18, 1981, and their marriage was sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple a year later. They were then the parents of nine teenagers! Norma enjoyed camping, four-wheeling, picking huckleberries, gardening, playing games and many other activities. But she enjoyed these things the most when she could do them with her family, grandchildren and friends. Norma is survived by her loving husband, Kay Perrenoud; her brother, Elmo Muir (DeLone), of Springville, Utah; her sister, Carma Muir Golding LeCheminant, of Orem, Utah; her sister-in-law, Janice Johnson Muir (Golden); her brother-in-law, Gale Perrenoud (Wanda); and many beloved nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her children, Doug Perrenoud (Lisa), of Meridian, Idaho; Jack Perrenoud, of Rigby, Idaho; Celeste Moss (Neal), of Laie, Hawaii; Robert Perrenoud (Rebecca), of Blackfoot, Idaho; Annette Rose (Karl), of Hyde Park, Utah; Ron Perrenoud (Kathy), of Rexburg, Idaho; Theresa Cook (Paul), of Atascadero, Calif.; Victor Harrison (Tanya), of Rexburg, Idaho and Barbara Gneiting (Hal), of Mud Lake, Idaho. Kay and Norma have 25 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Norma was preceded in death by her parents, Mabel and Melvin Muir; her brothers Robert Muir, Merlin Muir and Golden Muir; and her sisters Emelia Muir Ward and Wanda Muir Perrenoud.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, Sept. 21, at the LDS Rexburg 3rd Ward chapel (345 S. Third W.).
