Norrine Emily Polkowski (Chase-Roh-Treviso), age 90, passed away at home with family on September 1, 2019 after a courageous battle with cancer.  Norrine was born in a farmhouse in Lowell, Michigan on November 2nd, 1928.  She was preceded in death by her eldest son, William S. Roh; husbands, Jack Roh, Nicholas Treviso, Edwin Polkowski; parents, Cecil Chase and Harriet Chase Roelofs; sister, Nancy Haskins (Randall). Norrine was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who cherished her family.  Her four sons were her life and there was never anything she would not have done for them. The deep love and commitment to her boys later transcended to her grandchildren and then great-grandchildren. She truly lived for family.  Norrine was also blessed with the gift of being an amazing cook and an incredible home maker with beautifully decorated homes.
