Norma Mae Breitbach, age 93, of Charles City, passed away at Floyd County Medical Center on Friday, Dec. 4, 2020, from complications of COVID-19.
Our mother was born on May 8, 1927 in White Lake, South Dakota, daughter to Charles Yeager and Dorothea Strohmann Yeager.
As a child on the family farm in South Dakota, Mom cultivated a love for the prairie, its plants and wildlife. It was also during those early years on the farm where she began her life-long love for cats. Mom told us many stories about the barn kitties and would fondly remember those kittens’ names decades later. Fast forward through life, the growing list of cats and their special names would become a unique part of her character. She loved all animals. Her back patio would often host deer, squirrels, birds, cats simultaneously and Dr. Norma Doolittle would make it her business to feed them all.
