Norma M. Frump

Norma Marie Frump, age 92, of Terre Haute, IN and more recently Zionsville, IN passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 1, 2015 in Zionsville. Norma was born to William and Lela Prentice on December 11, 1922 in Terre Haute. Norma devoted her entire life to caring for others. She attended the Union Hospital School of Nursing program and earned her Registered Nursing Degree in 1944. Upon graduation she immediately joined the US Navy and served as a nurse during World War II. Norma continued to serve this country as a Naval Reserve Nurse until she was honorably discharged in 1950. After completing her active service in the Navy, Norma returned to Terre Haute where she met her future husband John Frump on a blind date. Their courtship was a brief six weeks followed by 70 years of marriage and unwavering love. She spent the majority of her professional career at Union Hospital as Nursing Director in the OB/GYN unit. She was very pleased by the fact that her long and successful career allowed her to witness the birth of several generations of families and assist in delivering babies of the babies she had attended to in earlier years. She retired from Union Hospital after more than 30 years of service as an esteemed and accomplished health professional. Family was very important to Norma. Norma is survived by her loving husband John, and their 3 children, sons Ron (Cyndi) and Randy Frump and daughter Debra (Jeff) Belskus, all of whom she was very proud. She is also survived by four grandchildren, Michael (Carrie), Kyle, John Belskus and Kristen Belskus. One of her most recent joys was the arrival of her first great grandchild, Abigail Frump. She is also survived by her sister Helen Curley. Norma was preceded in death by her parents, her brother, William Prentice, her sister Betty Bindhamer and her grandson, Bryan Frump. Norma loved her time spent with family. Some of her favorite memories were made at Lido Key, FL where her entire family celebrated Thanksgiving for many years. She also enjoyed family vacations at Kiawah Island, SC spending many hours on the beach with her grandchildren. Services are planned for Saturday, December 12 at the Eastside Church of Christ, located at 4025 College Ave, Terre Haute, IN 47803. Visitation will be held from 10am to 11am and a Celebration of Life service will follow at 11am for all friends and family who wish to attend. Cremation is being handled by Myers Mortuary in Lebanon, IN. The family kindly requests in lieu of flowers donations in memory of Norma be made to the Eastside Church. The family would also like to thank Norma's special caregivers, Shavon Davis and Hope Harrison and the staff at Zionsville Meadows.
