Norma's obituary
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Norma "Norma Jean" Bickford on the 29th of June, 2024. Born on the 14th of August, 1957, Norma was a brilliantly vibrant character, identified and remembered as a free spirit who believed in love above all else.
Known by many as Norma Jean, she preferred to be called Norma, a name that became synonymous with warmth, kindness, and generosity. Norma was a beacon of light to those around her, teaching us the most valuable lesson of all - to love without limits or conditions.
Norma is survived by her loving niece, Michelle Kara, and her cherished sisters, Doris Gipson and Jackie French. These family members will forever remember Norma's free spirit and her empathetic nature, keeping her memory alive within their hearts.
She was predeceased by her loving husband, Albert Bickford, whom she missed dearly. Her sisters Rose Kara, Alberta Welch, Judy Schallmo, Jeanette Burnett and Debra Diaz also predeceased her. From her parents, Albert and Irene Kara, Norma inherited her kind and loving nature, and it is comforting to know that she is now reunited with them and her other predeceased family members.
In lieu of flowers, funds are being raised to help with Norma's funeral expenses. Donations can be made at https://everloved.com/life-of….
In memory of Norma, we celebrate a life well-lived, full of love and compassion. As we say our last goodbyes, we commemorate not just a life that ended, but more importantly, a life that was lived to the fullest. Let's remember her radiant smile, her infectious laughter, and the love she freely shared with all who were fortunate enough to have known her.
