We study distribution of extreme values of a mixture of an infinite sequence of independent normally distributed variables with the same mean and an increasing sequence of standard deviations, and prove that the common distribution function belongs to the domain of attraction of Gumbel extreme value distribution. The norming constants for the maximum also are given.
