Norma Jean Case Groth (BA ’51) obituary

Norma Jean Case Groth (Livingston), of Salem, OR, passed away August 27, 2021 after a very short time in hospice. She was born in Tenville, Iowa on March 2, 1929.  Norma Jean graduated from Stephens College (AS) 1949, University of Minnesota (BS Home Economics) 1951, California Lutheran University (MA) 1968, University of Southern California (EdD) 1972.  Stories of the one-room schoolhouse she attended at age four, her fun times at Stephens College, sorority life at the University of Minnesota, and going back for her doctorate at age 40 to USC made for great stories. At 92 she still had her youthful figure, elegant style and an intellect to match Einstein.  She touched many lives, and was passionate about being a K-12 teacher, professor, and psychologist.
