Passed on February 25th, with the same peace and grace in which she lived during her78 years.Norma was born in El Paso, TX and attended El Paso High School and moved to Newark, NJ where she worked as Assistant to the Chief of Police. After marrying Leroy Stephenson, Norma put all of her energies into raising their three children. When the family moved to Newark, Delaware, Norma returned to work and retired from MBNA America after many years of service.
