She's from Dauphin and she's about to get hooked up with a brand new furnace.
Norma Parks is the winner of the Feel the Love contest that was put on by Steiner Plumbing & Heating.
"We had six people nominated from in and around Dauphin," said Carla Wolfenden, Owner at Steiner Plumbing & Heating. "All were deserving but we had to narrow it down to a couple finalists and of the two people's homes we visited, she was definitely in need of a new furnace"
"She told us it gets pretty cool in her home during the winter because her current system isn't great," she added. "She's just a caring, sweetheart of a lady. We're thrilled for her."
With the new furnace, Norma won't have to worry about getting chilly in her own home during the winter months.
"It's extremely exciting to win this," said Parks. "I was definitely surprised that I won. I was just delighted to be a recipient of this wonderful gift. I'm so happy."
"I'm very humbled that someone cared enough and thought about me to nominate me," she added. "Even if I didn't win, it was just a good feeling to get nominated in the first place."
This was the first year that Steiner Plumbing & Heating ran this contest. And, they plan on making it happen again.
"It was really successful," said Wolfenden. "Being our first year we weren't really sure what to expect. We know Dauphin is a very supportive community, but six nominations were definitely beyond our expectations."
"We're definitely going to consider running this contest again next year," she added. "This was great because it's really going to make a difference for the winner and in this case Norma."
Norma also wanted to say thank you to Steiner Plumbing & Heating.
"It's such a kind and generous thing for them to offer to the community," said Parks. "No matter who won, it's a huge gift. I just want to say thank you to them for donating their time to installing it and just giving the community a chance to win it."
Norma's new furnace will be installed on October 6.
