In Loving Memory

GARNER, NORMA L.

GARNER, NORMA L. of Sunset Hills, Missouri passed peacefully on July 10, 2020.  Norma was a successful entrepreneur who started and ran a Hallmark card and gift business that at one time boasted seven retail locations in the St. Louis area.  Throughout her more than forty-year career, she had the honor to work with many outstanding individuals who helped the St. Louis community find the right card, gift, or knickknack for a loved one.   After twenty years, Norma has joined her beloved husband Richard M. Garner.  Her legacy, wit and humor will be carried on by her two loving sons R. Gregory Garner (Toni) and Michael D. Garner (Cathy); dear grandchildren Andrew, Ryan, Clara, Adam, Ryan B, and Matthew; and great grandchildren Mason, Nolan, and soon to arrive Eugene.  The entire family would like to extend its heartfelt gratitude to all of the Senior Helper caregivers that befriended and cared for Norma over the past several years.  Your love and kindness was a blessing for all of us.  The family will hold a private memorial service to honor Norma’s memory.  For anyone that knew Norma they know that she had an undying love for dogs; Ginger will miss her greatly.  Contributions to Open Door Animal Sanctuary, 6065 Duda Rd. House Springs, MO 63051 appreciated.

  1. I am very sorry for your families loss. She was a very nice lady and a quiet neighbor. She will be missed by all. She loved her business, her people family, Taffy and Ginger greatly. If you would need anything let me know. I have missed seeing her come and go for the past several years. Will also miss seeing Ginger.

  7. Found myself missing her a lot lately! I also baked new and fun things for her during the holidays to make her smile! I loved caring for her the past few years and I’m very sorry I’m seeing this so late but the family is always on my mind, in my heart and in my prayers!

  9. I’m very sorry to learn of Norma’s passing. I worked for her many years ago at her Card Castle on Manchester Road. We shared a love for our fur babies. When I got my first Bichon puppy, Froste, she asked me to bring him into the store when I worked. We enjoyed his company. She was a very nice lady, as was her husband. We did stay in touch for several years, and went to lunch a couple times with other former managers. I enjoyed hearing about her dogs, especially Taffy. Thinking of your family.
