Mary Ellen Norris

On December 10th 2023, Mary decided to take a long fishing trip with Phil.

Mary was born on September 30th, 1936 to Peter and Oxanne Eschenko in Grassy Butte, North Dakota, on the family farm. She was the youngest child of five.

She enjoyed going with Phil on the semi, hauling coast to coast- she had collected many different items and a multitude of pictures she had taken.

She loved gardening and taking care of her many plants and flowers- decorating the house inside and out for every holiday.

She always got enjoyment out of recycling cardboard, aluminum cans, and copper wiring.

When Phil and her both retired, they would go fishing as often as possible, they also enjoyed going to the casino. Most of the time they were somewhere fishing.

She is survived by her sons, Steve Faulkner (Patty), David Faulkner (Carla), Mike Faulkner (Tina); her daughters, Barbara J. Lindvig (Wes), Sharon Wardell and Diane Martinez; 18 grandchildren and several great grandchildren.

Mary is preceded in death by her husband, Phil Norris; her parents; brothers, Fred and Red Eschenko; her sisters, Christine and Emma; her son, Gary; and granddaughter, Zaye Lindvig and Ashley Faulkner.
