D’ADDURNO, Norma Jean Hall D’Addurno (Abstracted from the Miller Funeral Home and Cremation Services, St. Marys and New Knoxville, Ohio - http://www.millerfuneralhomes.net/ – February 16, 2015) Norma Jean Hall D’Addurno of St. Mary’s OH was born on April 1, 1934 at Halo, KY and passed away February 16, 2015. She is survived by many nieces and nephews, especially her caregivers, Charlotte Harris, Darrell Slone, Darlene Gibson, and Vicki Thornberry. She is preceded in death by her husband Marion Hall and later in life, Bill D’Addurno, and her parents, Leonard and Ida Hall, her sisters, Wanda Slone and Hester Mitchell, as well as her brothers, Lou and Julius Hall. She has many other nieces and nephews and had maintained a loving relationship with her husband, Marion Hall’s side of the family. Norma married Marion Hall and moved to St. Mary’s OH when she was sixteen in 1950, working at Name Plate for 42 years. She retired to Florida in 1998, and she returned to her home place St. Mary’s in 2009. Norma bravely battled congestive heart failure with dialysis and numerous stays at the hospital. She greeted each day by putting on her make-up and looking her best, making sure she moved around by doing her own chores. An unbelievable character with sharp wit, Norma entertained those around her. Nurses and hospital personnel adored her and did not want her ill, but nevertheless, rejoiced when they saw her reentering the hospital. She entertained the entire floor at St. Rita’s in Lima, Ohio. The family wants to give thanks to her beloved Dr. Kato, her home health nurses, all who kept her alive three years with only a portion of her heart. Physically, her heart was small, but her heart otherwise was huge. Norma loved life and fought her disease very valiantly. She loved clothes, makeup, and jewelry, laying out her clothes for dialysis the night before with outfit and matching jewelry. She loved her family more. She adored the clothes her nieces would wear, and she would do her best to get them to relinquish the outfit they were wearing. Her nieces humored her and looked over the Matriarch of the family. The family joke was that if she liked something, “Just kiss it goodbye”, because Norma laughingly added this. We think she just wanted to tell people her nieces gave her the outfit. Norma was sincerely loved and will be gravely missed by all of us who loved her. Her dynamic personality will not be forgotten. Funeral services Wednesday evening at Nelson- Frasure Funeral Home in Martin, Kentucky. Burial will be Thursday at Buckingham Cemetery. D’ADDURNO, William H.
