She is survived by her brother Bill Norton and his wife Barbara of Stephens City VA, sister Mary E. Norton of Beaufort, SC, nieces and nephews Robert Colpitts of NY, NY, Matthew J. Colpitts and his wife Jessica of Hamlin, PA, Elizabeth Colpitts of West Palm Beach, FL, and Jason W. Norton and his wife Natalie of Middletown, VA. Her step-children Kristine McIntyre and her husband James, of Lincoln Park, NJ, Martin Torjussen, Jr. and his wife Meredith of West Caldwell, NJ, Meghan Platow and her husband Derek of South Portland ME, and Kyle Torjussen and his wife Lauren of Glen Ridge, NJ.
A service in her memory will take place at First Presbyterian Church in Beaufort, 1201 North St, on Thursday, May 10 at 2:00 PM. Interment will follow at Trinity-St. John's Church, Hewlett, N.Y. at a date to be determined.
