Norma is the person who seems to know everything that goes on at All Saints. Originally from Providence, RI, she moved to Michigan in 1979, working at first in a large law firm in Southfield, and she stayed in this field until 1995, moving among different law firms and spending some time as administrative assistant to Charles Levin, then a Michigan Supreme Court Justice. She has also worked as a job coach for a non-profit agency and then as its program director. Now Norma helps keep our busy parish office calm and well-organized. Norma is married to Gary Warner and is a mother of three and grandmother of eight. Norma can be reached at normawarner@allsaintspontiac.org Rosie Glispie, Housekeeper
Rosie was born in Hollendale, Mississippi and is the mother of five children. Rosie moved back to Mississippi after her husband died in 1994 to take care of her sister who had just undergone heart surgery. However, in order to provide a better life with more opportunities for employment, she decided to join her brother in Michigan and came to Pontiac in 1999. She has worked at the Rising Star Day Care and also was a cook at Bound Together before taking the position at All Saints.' You can always count on Rosie to greet you with a smile and an uplifting, positive attitude. We are lucky to have her with us.
