11 Sep 2020How blessed I am, to have been a part of this extremely kind and talented woman Norma’s life since my teen years. Norma always welcomed me into her family and her home. I have fond memories of the loving relationship Norma maintained with her husband. They were a terrific couple who never stopped adoring one another. Together they had five children. I was closest to Deb, a year older, and Kevin, a year younger. I will always treasure the memories of the many family gatherings Norma welcomed me to be a part of. I am delighted Norma found love again after losing her husband. Rest In Peace, dear Norma. You are loved by many, and will always be missed by all who were blessed to know you.
