    • Ramona Jean Norsving (Bjorson) was born October 2, 1932 in Ortenville, Minnesota to George and Ruth Norsving. She graduated to heaven on May 19, 2020 at age 87. She was at the Villages of Rockville (formerly National Lutheran Home) in Rockville, Maryland.

      She lived in Montevideo, Minnesota until after she graduated high school then moved to Washington, D.C. to work for the FBI.

After working there for a year or so she got a job at O’Boyle’s Tank Lines working for the owner as an Executive Secretary until early 1956.

      She went to Augustana Lutheran Church in Washington, D.C. She met Charles August Bjorson while they were singing the “Hallelujah Chorus” in the choir (he sang bass and she soprano). They were married at the church on April 16, 1955. At the time of her death they had been married 65 years.

      In February of 1958, they moved to Rockville, Maryland and have been at this house ever since.
      They had three (3) children:
      Theresa (Terri), Donnaruth, and George Martin

      She worked part time as a dental receptionist and a telephone answering service. She also did a lot of community volunteer service positions.

      We joined Crusader Lutheran Church in Rockville, MD in 1957. She worked on the council, led Bible Studies, main speaker on women’s retreats and sang in the choir.
