Norene Burton Orton (88) of North Ogden, passed away on a beautiful morning, June 07, 2021 at the Beehive Homes Assisted Living facility in Perry Utah.  She was the first child born to Alice Shaw Burton and Kenneth G.

Orton on February 11, 1950.  Their marriage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.

Owen and Norene were blessed with 6 children.  Norene, a stay-at-home mother, spent most her life raising her children, Cheryl (Ron Jones), Ronald (Margaret) Orton, Michael (Gwen) Orton, David Orton, Scott Orton, and Suzanne Orton.

Norene leaves behind 20 grandchildren and 47 great-grandchildren, 3 great-great grandchildren, and her dear sister, Linda (Dean) Loftus.  Norene was preceded in death by her husband, Owen, both her parents, her sweet sister, Kay (Gerald) Hunt., and her 2 youngest children, Scott and Suzanne.

The family would like to express their deepest thanks to Beehive Homes Assisted Living’s nurses and their many staff members who were so kind to Norene, and a special thanks for the great care from the nurses and administrators of Bristol Hospice, for their unfailing kindness, care, and support that they also gave her.
