Norma Dell Monschke

April 9, 1921 — June 11, 2002

, age 81, of Kettering, passed away Tuesday, June 11, 2002. Born and raised in Missouri, she attended Baker University where she began a lifelong affiliation with the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. After college, she relocated to Seattle where she worked as a secretary, served as a junior USO hostess during WWII, and danced so divinely she swept the man of her dreams Ken off his feet. Dell and Ken married October 16, 1948, and soon moved to Dayton where Ken joined his brother in the Parkmoor Restaurant business. Together, they raised 3 daughters. Dell had countless friends and lived a full, happy life.
