Sydney
It is with sadness we announce the passing of our beloved one, Norma Jean Evans, 71, on Friday, November 23, 2018, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, surrounded by her loving family.
Born in Whitney Pier, Norma Jean was the daughter of the late John and Meltha (Neville) McCormick.
Norma Jean was a member of Holy Redeemer Parish. She was a crossing guard in the Pier for many, many years, a job she truly loved. She had many friends at Crossroads, where Norma volunteered.
Norma Jean will be remembered by family and friends for being very caring and loving. She had a gift for making people laugh and always had a comment or come-back to anything you said.
Norma Jean will be sadly missed by her sister-in-law, Liz, who has been by her side since Martin passed away two years ago.
Norma Jean is survived by her son, Jamie; sister, Sheila Kerr; sister-in-law, Liz Evans, nephew, Colin and niece, Carmel.
Besides her parents, Norma Jean was predeceased by her husband, Martin; brother, Joseph; sister, Mary Louise and nephew, Fraser Kerr.
Memorial service to celebrate the life of Norma Jean Evans will be held at Pier Community Funeral Home, 1092 Victoria Rd. (entrance on Church Street) on Thursday, November 29, 2018, at 1 p.m. in the All Faith Chapel with Fr. Paul Murphy officiating. Light refreshments will be served in the reception area following the service. Private family interment will take place at a later date.
Donations in memory of Norma Jean may be made to the MacGillivray Guest Home or the Holy Redeemer Building Fund.
The family would like to thank the nurses at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital for their kindness and caring in Norma Jean’s time of need. A very special thank you to the staff at MacGillivray Guest Home. Norma Jean came to love everyone there from the nurses, maintenance and housekeeping. She knew they loved her too.
Funeral arrangements are entrusted to the care and direction of Pier Community Funeral Home.
