Robert F. Rumbolz was born August 5, 1928, to Earnest and Effie (Klotz) Rumbolz. He was educated at Ethan schools and always had a great work ethic which started on the family farm.

He married Norma L. Hoyt April 16, 1948 and welcomed a son, Reg, on November 24, 1950. Together they had many moves across western states, always working various jobs. Family was a priority in their lives. Their biggest joy was the grandkids and later the great-grands during their formative years.

They moved to Newcastle, WY in 2004 to be close to family. Bob passed away May 18, 2013.

Norma L was born July 31, 1928, to George and Thelma (Berry) Hoyt. She grew up on the family farm with two sisters. She graduated from Ethan High School along with the guy she would marry. She attended SDSU earning a teaching certificate and taught in a one room rural school house.

She married Bob on April 16, 1948 and welcomed their son, Reg on November 24, 1950. Jobs and family became their way of life for many years. They were lucky to spend 60 years together until Bob’s passing May 18, 2013.

Norma later lived with Reg and Sharon since 2017. She loved being involved with the great-grandkids until her health declined and she moved to WCHS Manor in October 2025. She enjoyed the various activities held at the Manor along with daily visits from family.

She passed away peacefully on April 1, 2026. May their lives be an example of true faith and love.
