Norma retired from the Henrico County Police Division in 2000. She was a member of Fairmount Christian Church where she loved worshiping her heavenly father and had many devoted friends. Norma was an avid reader, loved listening to hymns for countless hours, taking car rides, and the color purple. In her last months, she loved watching boats traveling up and down the Chickahominy River and would alert all in the house that there was a boat going by. Norma was a wonderful mother who you could always count on.
