Norma Lea Euker's Obituary
Norma Lea Euker, 86, died Feb. 8, 2015, at Hutchinson Regional Medical Center. She was born Sept. 29, 1928, in Kinsley, to William and Ida (Eatinger) Miller.
Norma graduated from Hutchinson High School in 1947 and attended Hutchinson Community College for two years. She was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church and P.E.O. Chapter D. Norma was a homemaker, with various jobs interlaced between her responsibilities with her family. She enjoyed playing bridge with her friends and had an eye for interior design. Political involvement/debate was her forte. In her younger years, she modeled for the Wiley Tea Room's style shows, and when Hollywood came to Hutchinson to film "Wait Till The Sun Shines Nellie", Norma was selected as Kansas' version of "Miss Nellie" for the movie premier and festivities. Her beauty and love of beauty did not outweigh her practicality and ability to be a wonderful wife and mother.
On Dec. 9, 1951, she married Wayne E. Euker at Trinity United Methodist Church in Hutchinson. He died April 23, 2013.
She is survived by: children, Tom Euker of Hutchinson, Valerie Garcia and husband Orlando of Fairview, Tenn., Steve Euker and wife Carolyn of Federal Way, Wash.; granddaughters, Madaline Lea Garcia, Kayla Euker; grandson, Sam Garcia; sisters, Evelyn Openshaw of Hutchinson, Chris Zongker and husband Jo of Derby; and sister-in-law, Margie Miller Dick of Hutchinson. She was preceded in death by her parents; son, Jake Euker; and brothers, Marvin Miller and Adrian "Whitey" Miller.
Cremation has taken place. Memorial service will be 9 a.m. Monday, Feb. 16, 2015, at Elliott Chapel, Hutchinson, with Reverend Jim Rhaesa officiating. A short reception will follow the service. Inurnment will take place 12 p.m. Monday at Penwell-Gabel Cemetery and Mausoleum, Hutchinson. Friends may sign the book from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday through Sunday at Elliott Mortuary.
