Born in 1924, Norma grew up in Chelmsford just a short distance from her Chelmsford residence that Joe and Norma built in 1949. Norma was one of six siblings (Mary, Ruth, Louise, Neil and George). Norma attended the Chelmsford School System and graduated from Chelmsford High School in 1942. She was very proud of her Irish heritage and her lifelong connection with Chelmsford.

In August 1946 she married Joseph H Schults of Lowell. Together they loved sailing on Lake Winnipesaukee, gardening and bird watching, taking care of their children and grandchildren. Normas greatest passion was spending time with Joe, her two sons, their grandchildren and later in life with their Chocolate Lab Rudy.

Schults, Jr. and wife JoAnne Schults of Raymond, NH, and Richard Schults and wife Bobbie Schults of Exeter NH/Venice FL, grandchildren Christopher Schults and his wife Lea Werbel, Daniel Schults, Kimberly Schults, Miranda Schults, Joseph and his wife Noemi Schults, and three great grandchildren Kahlan Schults, Tristan Schults, and Ava Schults.

Norma and Joe started camping on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee at Lake Shore Park in Gilford, NH in 1954, where they enjoyed boating, sailing, and fishing. They started out in a tent, then a small trailer. Then in 1973, Norma, Joe and her sons built the cabin that remains today and is enjoyed by their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
