Norma was born on August 3, 1924 in Manhattan to the late David and Mary (Vanni) Moriglia. She grew up in New York before moving to Dover, NJ in 1948 after getting married to her beloved husband, Henry D. Black. She was an accountant for several companies over the years but her biggest pursuit was being a dedicated and devoted mother and grandmother.

Norma and her husband were also choir members at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Dover for many years before moving to Sussex County.
Norma is survived by her children, Carolyn Becker (Phillip) and Henry Black (Theresa); her grandchildren, Tony Becker (Lacey), Sara Black and Daniel Black and her great-grandchildren, Sophia Becker and Amelia Becker. Along with her parents and husband, Norma was predeceased by two granddaughters, Dana Becker and Michelle Becker.
