Carol Norton was the last of the McGovney family to live in Mokena. Though she was not a life long Mokenian and not even born in Mokena, she chose to move to Mokena and had a deep love and appreciation for the Village as well as the contributions that her family has made over the years.
She was not only a McGovney, she was also a Hatch, from episode 13 where we discuss what is now Zap Taco, and her relation to WW1 Veteran, John Hatch of The Hatch Hall! She is also a cousin of the famous American composer, Wilbur Hatch, who wrote the theme to I Love Lucy and much more! Almost every episode of our podcast includes something about Ms. Nortons family.
Ms. Norton was a lover of Mokena History, which created a natural connection with Matt. They spent many hours at the Mokena Library talking Mokena and Matt got to know her pretty well. When he heard recently of her passing we thought it fitting to say a few words about the last McGovney to reside in Mokena.
Our condolences to all the friends and family of Ms. Carol Norton. You can read her obituary HERE.
