Norma Garwood

If Norma saw a friend without a smile, she was always fast to give them one of hers. Her sweet nature always had an effect on those around her. But her focus was always on her family. Her grandsons were the light of her life. And not that she had a biased opinion, but in her eyes they could do no wrong. Her house was never a home without a pet, sometimes three or four. Even when the weather was at its worst, she was always up for taking the dogs out to play. Having lived in Delanco until recently, she loved her job at Century Mills in Riverside, working there until it closed. Norma always had a sweet tooth, but knew the best treats were those she could share. Even during her last days, the nurses at Beebe Medical Center in Lewes, DE knew that she was always looking to split her cookies with them.rnAs a young woman, Norma was introduced to a young man named Alfred through a friend of the family. It would not be long until they were married. Together they were blessed by their daughter Karen Vietri (Dominick) of Millsboro, DE. And although Alfred passed away in 1972, that void was filled a few years later when she was blessed by her grandsons Nick and Joshua, and again by her great-grandson Jayden. Norma is also survived by her dear friend Linda Czyzwski of Delanco.rnCome celebrate Norma’s 87 wonderful years (12/27/1922-10/23/2010) Saturday from Noon at the Sweeney Funeral Home, Riverside, where the service will be at 2 PM. Interment private.
