I’m reading Trump’s Art of the deal, and she seemed like a lovely woman. She helped me and seemed so genuine. No wonder he chose such a kind woman❤️

Why I chose today to search for Norma on line is a mystery.  Perhaps because Mr.Trump is so in the news these days.  I guess I'm not surprised to learn of her passing as many many years have passed since I was part of the Trump Organization.  As one of Mr. Trump's casino marketing staffers (I was VP Sales & Marketing for Trump's Taj Mahal pre-opening through 1995) I had frequent occasion to reach out to Norma in arranging personal appearances and special events  for Mr. Trump.  Norma was the most wonderful, kind and helpful person ever!  No wonder she was chosen to represent Mr. Trump as his Personal Assistant!  To Norma's Family I wish to tell you what a beautiful person she was and how you must surely miss her.  Thank you.  Bill Blaziek, West Chester, Pa.

I'll never forget the name Norma Foerderer. I never saw her face but I received a sincere and complimentary reply, on gold lettered Trump stationery, to a proposal I had previously submitted. It was such a caring and warm letter that I was just as pleased to receive it even if they were unable to underwrite the proposed project. That was in 1990. Reading The Art of the Deal inspired me to THINK BIG and I did, and still do! Thank you Norma for such an empowering letter, obviously straight from the heart!

I recently learned of the passing
of Ms. Norma Foerderer. My name is C.C. Alexander ll, a Murfreesboro, Tennessee native. I will NEVER forget her kindness trying to interview with Mr. Donald Trump in New York City and introducing me to Mr. Matthew Calamari...January 1987. Ms. Foerderer was as good of a person I have ever met. She ALWAYS wish me the best and encourage me to pursue my dreams. There is no doubt she touch all who were fortunate enough to cross her path! Her spirit will live perpetually. Heaven has inherit an angel and the world has lost greatness. Wishing her family, friends, & former co-workers nothing but the BEST!!! Your memories will keep her alive. Cherish them forever!!!!!!!!

Norma was a wonderful, strong woman who never neglected her friends, or family.  She will be missed, but will enjoy new found happiness at the right hand of the Boss of all bosses.

I was so sad to learn of Norma's passing away. She was a kind mentor to me when as a young secretary I arrived in NYC in 1991. Always an encourager, a role model and a true lady, she led by example and generosity of spirit. She and her family are in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you, Norma. I will always be grateful for you.

Norma, you taught me that it is okay to be terrific at your job and still be nice. Thank you for being such a wonderful mentor to all of us who were lucky enough to be in your magic. We will miss your style and your charm. Thank you! Love always!

We were very sorry to hear of Norma's passing. Our hearts are broken for everyone whose lives she touched. Karen,Jim and Lauren Redeker and the entire Madigan family

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today and always, Bill.  I never had the pleasure of meeting your mother but from all I've heard and read about her, I believe we would have bonded instantly.  Take comfort in knowing that God will give you peace in the midst of sorrow.  You can depend on Him.  My love to all.

Such a shock to us as well as to you. Our deepest sympathies and prayers. We know that you and all who knew her will miss her terribly. Norma was all the lovely things said above. An incomparable lady.

Fo you were always so kind to me when I would call Mr. Trumps office remembering the AC days so long ago. My heart goes out to your loved ones!

Dearest Fofo and family, I am deeply saddened to hear of Norma's passing. I miss her dearly but know she is resting peacefully. My thoughts are with you. All my love.

Norma was my personal Audrey Hepburn - a beautiful blend of savvy, kindness, grace and style. Such a LIGHT, that darling woman! When I heard that she left this earth while on her way to have high tea with dear friends, the thought occurred to me that instead, she went to share in the Highest of Teas with her most beloved Friend of all...her precious Lord. I'm wearing your scarf you gave me, Norma...from Wednesday through this coming Monday, in your honor and memory. Though I cannot be there in person at Monday's services, I am there in spirit. I hold you in my heart and always will. You added much joy, elegance and grace to my life and that will continue to the end of my days. I love you, dear friend.

It is with great sorrow that I heard of Norma's passing. She was the kind of person whom you feel will be around forever: indestructible, wise, lovely, classy, beautiful, and always right with her advice (but never one to tell you so). 

:). 

She will be missed by many, myself included.

Wishing Bill and all the others she touched our love and condolences.

Anette, Srdjan and Mia

Norma, fue un gran placer conocerte, fuiste una gran mujer, con una presencia única.  Es un honor que tu hijo sea parte de nuestra familia, también una gran persona que es lo que es gracias a los valores que supiste inculcarle.  Que suerte que pasamos momentos tan lindos junto a vos cuando recibimos el año 2000 y bautizamos a Sofia y Matias en Buenos Aires, o cuando recibimos otro año nuevo en Patagonia.  Te queremos mucho, y acompañamos a Bill, Betina, Sofia, Rafa, y el resto de la familia en este gran dolor.  Con mucho amor, Vero, Gustavo, Matias y Sol Tolone y Julie Baptista.

Norma, you were not only a dear and loyal friend, you were an extraordinary person. A true lady in every sense of the word. Here's to ancient evenings, distant music and you. I shall miss you always, dear friend. Sweet dreams.
Love, Janie Johnson-Sides

Norma was a classy woman and happy to have had 
the pleasure to have known her and worked with her for over twenty years.  May she rest in peace.

Norma was the essence of class.  She was a good friend and a good cousin.
Ron Madigan

My condolences to the Foerderer family. May memories of time spent with Norma warm your hearts. Lean on God for comfort and the hope he gives of seeing our passed loved ones again.
