On a brisk day, Emilie Koster climbed on a rock overlooking the Valley and scattered ashes of a man she didn’t know.
They found the ashes of Norman Scott Jones in a battered, plastic container up a hill in a patch of ivy alongside the westbound 118 Freeway in Chatsworth.
Norman was found on August 8, 2022 by Volunteers Cleaning Communities, a group of local residents who adopted a 3½ mile stretch of the 118 Freeway between Tampa Avenue and Balboa Boulevard, and some adjacent neighborhood streets to keep litter-free. One of the first rules she taught new hires was never walk over debris — pick it up. It was a rule she applied to herself in retirement on her daily three-hour walks during the height of the pandemic.
Emilie Koster never got detention in high school. She gave Norman a home while the search for his family went on for months. The only real lead they had on Norman was the cremation society, but personal information could only be released to family members — the people they were looking for — so it was a catch-22. After six months, they had hit a dead end.
With no family or friends left to find, “we decided to give Norman a final RIP ourselves,” Jill said.
