She was the daughter of Harry Marshall and Elizabeth "Fanny" Gilmore who were immigrants from Canada. They divorced in 1922. She was born and raised in Maine. Her father and his second wife moved to Beaverton, PA about 1930. Her mother remained in Maine.
She is found in the 1910 Census with her parents in Houlton, ME and in the 1920 Census as a waitress living as a lodger, still in Houlton. In the 1930 Census, she is in Somerville, NJ with her first husband and first three children. They seem to have moved in NJ in the middle of the 1920s.
She married John Norris in 1921 in New Brunswick, Canada.
She lived with Frederick R. Williamson from the early 1930s until his death. It is not clear when or if they married, but could not do so until after the death of his first wife in 1946. Reportedly, she was originally hired to look after his motherless children.
She was described as housekeeper at the Top Notch Lodge in 1931 when her son Clayton Norris was killed by a passing car. It was located on then-Route 31, "one mile south of Pluckemin."
Mother of Clayton Norris, Dorothy Norris Hamilton, and Geraldine Norris DeBacco and of Gloria Williamson (or Norris) Banco, Clayton Williamson, Shirley Williamson Burgess, Lorraine Williamson Hoffman, and Lillian Williamson Salerno.
Son (Ralph) Clayton Norris (2 Dec 1922 - 16 Sept 1930) who died after being hit by a car and John Norris, her first husband who died in 1941, are buried nearby in unmarked graves. She was the informant on his death certificate on which she said they were divorced. There is no record of a divorce in New Jersey.
