Norma Wells NP, 60, of Rochester passed away at 12:41 PM, Wednesday, March 7, 2018 at Parkview Regional Hospital of Fort Wayne.
On July 16, 1957, Norma Jean Ruth Boucher was born in Worcester, MA. She was the daughter of Albert E. Boucher and Ruth Mae Ryan. Growing up in Massachusetts she shared her childhood with three brothers and two sisters. She graduated from Baypath Regional High School, Charlton, MA in 1975.
Moving from Arizona to Indiana in 1980, Norma served the nursing profession in Fulton, Pulaski and Marshall counties. In 1995 she earned her MSN from Indiana Wesleyan University and further professionalized herself becoming a family nurse practitioner. She divorced Jim Wells in 2000, and was remarried to Shawn Reffett on 27 Nov 2003 in Rochester.
An avid equestrian, Norma enjoyed trail riding. Outdoor adventures throughout her life were a great source of joy, from bicycling while touring across Europe, to hiking over challenging terrain, or kayaking down the scenic Tippecanoe River. She especially like observing the changing seasons on the river.
Left to cherish Norma's memory are her partner, Clare Kraklow; a daughter, Emily Wells and husband Jason Biggerstaff of Bend, OR; a son, Oliver Wells of Indianapolis; two grandchildren: Owen Grissom Wells and Scarlett Rose Biggerstaff; two sisters: Loretta Wilmarth and husband Richard of Holland, MA, Anne Moore of Portland, ME; two brothers: Robert Boucher and wife Judy of Paxton, MA, Albert Boucher and wife Paula of Ocala, FL; several nieces and nephews; and Diva, her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Preceding Norma in death are parents; a brother, James Boucher in 1995; and Cactus, her treasured sorrel Arabian.
Friends may visit with the family from 5-7 PM on Saturday, March 10, 2018 in the Good Family Funeral Home, 1200 West 18th St., Rochester. A sunset celebration of the life of Norma Wells will follow at 7:00 PM.
