Click here to view all obituariesWhen Norma came to Bellmore UMC, my father was Chairperson of the Pastor-Parish Relations Committee. I was in seminary at that time & Norma helped Dad feel more peaceful about my call to ministry. Norma & I became good friends. She mentored me & invited me to assist her at services during the summer months when I was home. Norma also invited me to go with her on a Methodist tour to Wesley's Chapel in London during the renovation period in 1977. What a trip! We had such fun! In 1981 she co-officiated at my wedding in New Jersey.
As a pastor, Norma brought her congregations together & nurtured their faith. For those who were hesitant about a woman pastor, Norma just did her job & they came around when they saw how competant she was. She had a great sense of humor & brought smiles & laughter into her services. How can we forget those early "non-traditional" worship songs that enlivened Sunday mornings? Her love for her family & her congregations will stay with us. I'm blessed to have known Norma & grateful for her influence on my professional development.
