Brennan, Norma

Retired E.A. - East York Board of Education, Toronto

Born in Toronto on May 19, 1942, a daughter of the late William James and Doris (nee Hill) Kirby of England, Norma passed away in Meaford on September 5, 2020 at the age of 78.

She and her beloved husband of some 55 plus years, Patrick Brennan, retired to Meaford from Toronto and enjoyed those retirement years together.

Norma will be remembered as a devoted and loving Mom of Bryan and his wife Tammy and David and his wife Lisa, and cherished grandmother of their son Matthew, all of Mississauga.

A brother Roy predeceased Norma and she is remembered by his wife Audrey of Ajax, and sisters Joan (nee Kirby) and Audrey Vernon also predeceased her and she is survived by Audrey’s husband Larry of Baldwin. Norma was a dear-sister-in law to Mary and Joe Martin of Richmond Hill.  She will be recalled fondly by her several nieces and nephews and their families.

Cremation has taken place and a private family disposition of Norma’s ashes will take place at a later date.

If so desired and as your expression of sympathy, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated and on-line condolences may be made through the Ferguson Funeral Home in Meaford (www.fergusonfuneralhomes.ca.) to whom arrangements have been entrusted.

    Pat and family,

    We were so sad to hear the news . Our family was lucky to know Norma and enjoy her laugh and smile. She was a wonderful friend to our Mom and her kindness will be missed by all that knew her. Pat, Norma, Ken and Marlene enjoyed many card games, drinks and dinners over the years and could count on each other when needed. Please know we are thinking of you at this difficult time.

    I’m so sorry to hear that my aunt Norma has passed. Due to conflict in the family (Joan) my sister and I never got to know her and all the things she loved. Aunt Norma I never ever forgot you may you rest in peace

    Please forgive the delay in providing my sincerest condolences. I had loss touch over the last several years and I was unaware that Norma “Auntie Norma” as I called her when I was child, had passed away. I am so sad to know that the world is without her light, her compassion and humor. I will cherish all my memories of weddings, get togethers, and dancing the “slosh” in the Cedarvale living room close to my heart. Rest in peace. XO
