Norma was born on March 12, 1926 in Union City, NJ to Joseph and Emilia Bertoldo.   She attended Emerson High School where she and friends formed the Jolly Five club, a sisterhood that would last over sixty years. She was married at age 25 and with her husband, Victor, had three children. As a young mother, she served as President of the Cliffside Park PTA, coached softball and volunteered for the Little League and Babe Ruth Ladies Auxiliaries, a source of friendships that would last a lifetime.   She sewed exquisite dresses for her daughter and award winning Halloween costumes for her children and grandchildren. Before retirement, she was employed by Prentice Hall in Englewood Cliffs, and later in Saddle River where she worked in the College Books Division. Norma, with family and friends, enjoyed traveling, sharing with everyone her love for the Jersey shore.

She will be lovingly remembered for her cheesecake, turns of phrase, her generosity, sense of humor, her grace and her kindness.
