    Norrine (“Ma”, “Mom”, “Sudie”) will always be remembered for her devotion and Love of her family. She loved it when the family came together. The more the merrier. Mom taught us to Love and protect one another because after her; we would only have each other.  Mom loved God and was raised up as a Christian who believed in the message of Jesus Christ and The Bible. Mom loved food and cooking; especially for the people she loved the most. She could make anything taste good. Mom had a special affinity for lobster, blue crab, crab legs and fish.  Mom also loved to eat and cook soul food. Mom was an avid reader of books and poetry. Mom wrote two different drafts of books that she planned to finish. Mom loved music and she loved to dance. Mom’s water once broke while she was on the dance floor. Mom loved to shop and buy gifts for her loved ones on a regular basis. She was the one of the most thoughtful and best gift givers ever. Mom loved dogs. She had a few when she was young and she helped to raise great danes.

       Mom will be remembered for all the lives she touched, people she helped to heal, the example she set, the sage advice she gave, and her thoughtfulness and gigantic generosity. This is a big loss for our family and others who knew her. She will be greatly missed.
