Norma Manis, who with her daughters founded Norma's Cafe of Dallas in 1956 (see the Roadfood.com review), and made a name for herself as the creator of exquisite mile-high pies, passed away this past weekend at the age of 80. Ms. Manis sold Norma's in 1986. After the sale, she and her daughters opened Mama's Daughters' Diner. See the Mama's Daughters' Facebook page for information about visitation and services.
