A handwritten FGR lists her first marriage as 24 October 1939, Portland OR, to Melvin Robert Schrammeck
Her obituary describes her as the first-born child of Isaac and Mina Braatz, but I’m guessing that means the first-born child who lived through her childhood.
We have a Christmas picture signed Melvin and Noma.
Noma’s funeral program, dated January 6 2005, notes her interment at Meridian Cemetery.
Her obituary lists her children as Floyd (b 1942) and Joy (b 1945)
Her obituary notes she took care of 38 foster children from 1955-1962, if we notice discrepancies of children in census records later on.
From the obituary: “Noma was survived by a son, Floyd Schrammeck and wife Chris; a daughter, Joy Moore and Husband Bob; a brother, George Braatz; a sister, Louise Smith; grandchildren Tawnya Swanson, Reginald States and wife Gia, Brody States, and Angelia Schrammeck; 11 great-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren; and three step-grandchildren and their spouses. She was preceded in death by her husband Melvin Schrammeck in 1997; a sister, Viola Braatz; two siblings who died as infants; and nephew Noal Smith.”
