Summary: Alice F. Norton of Carrington, ND, passed away at her home on March 20, 2025. A funeral service was held March 24, 2025, at Faith Baptist Church, Carrington. Burial was at Germantown Baptist Cemetery, rural Cathay, ND. Alice Faye Norton, a miracle at birth, was born prematurely on December 15, 1938. She could fit into a shoebox at birth and was the second oldest of Bertha and August Pahl’s children. Alice was baptized into her faith in God and a promise of eternal and everlasting life in Ely, NV, in 1957. She was married to Dalton Christ Seibold in 1955 and together they raised six sons: Lorell, Ferron, Blake, Cameron, Derrick and Virgil. After Dalton’s passing in 1978, she married Robert E. Norton in 1986, and her family grew by three more with Rhonda, Amy, and Robert. As each child went on to build their families, her family continued to grow and be welcomed. Alice further realized that family is much broader than blood. For those who needed a sister, she was that. To those who needed a mom – she would be that. To those who needed a gramma – she would be that. And to anyone who needed a friend, she was that. When she needed family and friends, they came to be by her side. Recently, her ‘family’ again grew with the loving daily care from the Elderbee Home Care team, her dedicated Quality Service Providers, and the wonderful CHI Health at Home and Hospice Team. Alice enjoyed life and making a happy home. She had many pastimes that she loved, including cooking, baking beautiful cakes and other desserts, fishing, and working on her many craft projects. Alice is survived by her husband of 38 years, Bob; five sons and their families, Lorell (Shaila) and their daughters, Nicole (Andy), Carly (Clifton) and Marlee; Blake and his children, Blake Jr, Dallas, and Jessica (Jason); Cameron (Doreen) and their children, Sarah (Kevin) and Dean (Ellie); Derrick (Lois) and their children, Devin (Jade) and Kelsey (Joel); Virgil (Michael) and their daughter, Anna (Ryder); Rhonda and her children, Makenzie (Josh), Makayla (Zach), Ashlyn, and Shai; Amy (Dave) and children, Natasha (BJ), Logan (Elvis), and Sakkara; Robert (Jen) and their children, JoLyssa, Brekken, and BreLee; Alice was also blessed with 14 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her first husband, Dalton; her son, Ferron; her parents, father and mother-in-law; four siblings, and one great-grandchild.
