Norma B. Shapiro was born June 18, 1937, to Meyer and Dorothy Rosenberg.

Norma has 12 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, a beautiful loving, caring family. Norma also leaves brother Bernard Rosenberg and wife Judy. Norma has so many friends, too many to mention by name but loved by all.
Norma loved playing mahjong and Pan with her group and shopping with her best bud Carol Weissman. She enjoyed watching football and Wednesday night dinners as group activities that grew over the years. She also enjoyed cruises and travel with Ron and their friends. Norma and Ron recently celebrated 32 years of the most beautiful marriage imaginable, not just as husband and wife but also as each other’s best friend. Norma will be remembered for many things but she will be remembered most for the unconditional love she shared with her family and friends.
