Norma J. Ross, 91, of Beaver, passed away with her girls by her side on September 16, 2024.

She was born on May 29, 1933 in Irondale, Ohio, a daughter of the late Lewis and Blanche Glenn Crawford. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Anthony Ross, Jr., whom she married on August 21, 1954.

Norma had a thirst for learning, obtaining her GED at the age of 40, going on to attend CCBC to earn her Licensed Practical Nursing degree and graduating in the top ten in her class. She began a long career working at Heritage Valley, Beaver and a few local nursing homes. In her spare time, Norma loved to read, garden, travel, especially to the beach, cheer on the Steelers, and listen to country music. She took great pride in her family, her grandchildren in particular, attending many picnics, family gatherings, and holidays.

Norma faithfully attended Christian Missionary Alliance Church, where she served as a youth leader, Sunday school teacher and choir leader. She read her Bible daily and enjoyed old gospel hymns.
