Norma Cummings

Norma Maude Cummings (nee Barrett)

1921 - 2020

Norma passed away peacefully of natural causes at Granite Ridge Care Community, Stittsville, on Tuesday, October 27, 2020.

Beloved wife of the late Donald Sharpe Cummings. Loving mother of Donna (Bernie Shaffer), Kenneth (Catherine Campbell), Adele, and James (Lisa Byrne). She will be remembered with much love by her grandchildren, Donald, Sarah, Jessica, Philip, Arielle, Maxwell, Justin and Emma, step-grandchildren Lesley and Carolyn, and great-grandchildren, Leo, Ella, Otis, Grace, Jordan and Adam.

Norma was the Cummings family matriarch, an elegant, kind, intelligent and caring woman whose grace touched everyone who knew her. She and her husband Don had a very active life dancing, boating, curling, swimming, bicycling, skiing, playing bridge and travelling extensively. Norma was a long-standing member and past president of the Engineers Wives Association. She’ll be remembered by her friends at Riverpark Retirement Residence and the Kristy’s afternoon group.

The family wants to thank the staff at Granite Ridge for caring for Norma in her final months. Arrangements are being made for a private family graveside service at a later date.
