Norma Doreen Duff, 80, passed away of natural causes March 12, 2006, at the Colonial Manor in Whitefish.

Norma was born in Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia, on Nov. 15, 1925, the daughter of Grace and Gordon Wassman. She completed her education in Rockhampton and shortly thereafter met and fell in love with Roy M. Duff, who was then serving in the Pacific Theater of World War II. They married Nov. 8, 1944.

After the conclusion of the war, Norma came to Whitefish and joined Roy in operating their business, "Whitefish & Hungry Horse Taxi," which is now Rocky Mountain Transportation. They also later owned and operated Duff Chevrolet.

Norma is survived by her husband of 61 years, Roy Duff, in Whitefish; sons Mark Duff and wife Lynne and Dale Duff and wife Diane; grandchildren Kevin, Scott, Amanda, Shelby and Sean; great grandchild Azlyn; sister Coral Robins; brother Keith Wassman; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Funeral services took place March 17, 2006, at the United Methodist Church, in Whitefish. Burial followed at the Whitefish Cemetery.

The family suggests memorials be given to the Methodist Church building fund.
