Norma Kruletz

Norma Jean Ross Kruletz
Born November 5, 1932.
Our sweet, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and sister passed peacefully at 90 years old on April 5, 2022, with family and loved ones present.
Norma was born in Delta, Utah, to Melvin D. Ross and Lorraine Ivie Ross. She was raised in Delta with three brothers and four sisters. One of her fondest memories growing up was accompanying her father to Van’s dance hall listening to him play in his band. She loved music and could play the organ and piano by ear.
She married Tony M. Kruletz on March 13, 1949. They made their home in Tooele, Utah, where she was a homemaker and raised two sons, Dick and Tony.
Shopping by far was her favorite pastime. Although she loved a bargain, she was an extremely generous and kind woman who loved giving gifts. Her philosophy was “if the shoe fits, buy one in every color.” She adored and was so proud of her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
She is survived by son Tony, beloved daughter-in-law Julie, sisters Arlene Dennison, and Barbara Bonnette, daughter-in-law Joanne Ross, grandchildren Hollie Salaiz, Heather George, Sebrena Banecker, and fourteen great grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by husband Tony, son Dick Ross, grandson Scott Ross, granddaughter Hilary Ross, father Melvin D. Ross, mother Lorraine Ross, brothers LaMond Smith, Ralph Ross, Raymond Ross and sisters Donna Ecklos and Josephine Smith.
Thanks to the nurses, aides and housekeepers at Rocky Mountain Care Center who gave such tender care while she resided there and especially in her last days. Special thanks to her friend and roommate Ila Jo for looking after and loving her.
At Norma’s request a graveside only service will be held on Saturday April 16, 2022 at 2:00 pm at the Tooele City Cemetery.
Pallbearers: Tony Kruletz Jr., Tony Kruletz, Brian Banecker, Jake George, Jaxson George, Keaton George and Noah Banecker.
