Jamie grew up in Craig, Nebraska. She participated in 4-H and went to Oakland-Craig Public Schools where she graduated in 2004. She attended Bahner (La James) College of Hairstyling School and graduated in 2006.

Jamie was engaged to the love of her life Blake Golda and spent as much time with him and her three daughters as she could.

Jamie was a valuable employee of North Star Services for going on 16 years. She had such a love of working with the individuals there and you could just see how much they enjoyed her as well.

When she wasn't at work she could be seen at sporting events for her girls or nephews or just there to show her support for the school. She had a love of doing hair and could be seen doing hair for dances or cutting her nephews' hair on the weekends.

It doesn't seem possible to put into words how much Jamie will be missed. She was a loving mother, sister, daughter and friend. She had the biggest heart and kindest soul.

Jamie is survived by her fiancé, Blake Golda of Springfield, Nebraska, her 3 beautiful daughters, Brynn Norton (20), Blayr Keller (16), and Bria Golda (7) of Craig, Nebraska. Her parents Paul and Cindy (Woerner) Norton of Craig, Nebraska. Her sisters Alyssa (Jeremiah) Blomker of Herman, Nebraska and Courtney (Adam Johnson) Norton of Craig, Nebraska. Her niece Alexa Smith of Oakland, Nebraska. Her nephews Amon and Avery Bryan of Craig, Nebraska and Brooks and Tate Blomker of Herman, Nebraska. Many Aunts, Uncles, cousins and friends.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents Fred and Janice Woerner of West Point, Nebraska, her grandfather Jerry Norton Sr. of Craig, Nebraska and her sister Angela Bryan of Craig, Nebraska.

Two women who died last week when their minivan rear-ended a tractor in northeast Nebraska have been identified.

Jamie Norton, 37, of Craig, Nebraska, and Elizabeth Thomsen, 42, of Rosalie, Nebraska, died Wednesday as a result of their injuries, according to the Cuming County Sheriff’s Office. Both women were pronounced deceased at a West Point hospital.

A third occupant of the minivan, Rachel Robbins, 27, of Lyons, Nebraska, was taken to a hospital in Pender for treatment. The driver of the tractor, Gregory Haase, 37, of Bancroft, Nebraska, was also taken to the West Point hospital, where he was treated and released.

Investigators determined that Norton was driving a 2019 Dodge Caravan westbound on Nebraska Highway 51 just west of Bancroft about 8:15 a.m. The minivan collided with the rear of a John Deere tractor that was pulling a feed wagon.
