Driving Inspiration With Norma

When 90-year-old Norma Bauerschmidt was diagnosed with cancer just weeks after her beloved husband of 60 years suddenly died, she told her doctor “I’m 90 years old, I’m hitting the road.” And just like that, Driving Miss Norma's story began, ironically, with an end-of-life decision.

Postscript: Norma passed away in the fall of 2016 at the age of 91 after a year of traveling across the United States. To see more about her journey, visit her Facebook page.
