Jerome W. Norton (Jerry) of Tewksbury, MA died on February 28, 2021 at the age of 86 in Reading, MA.
He was the husband of Diane (Manvel), and they shared almost 54 years of tears, laughter, frustration, joy and love together.
The consummate conversationalist, Jerry enjoyed nothing more than spending time with friends and family discussing any and all topics. He was accepting of all, and all found joy and laughter in his presence.
Though he was small in stature, Jerry will forever hold an immense space in the hearts and memories of all that knew him. He will be eternally loved, and eternally missed.
Jerry is survived by his wife Diane, his daughter Jennifer Norton and her partner Edward Newton of Lowell, MA, his daughter Patsy Burke and her husband Mike Burke of Reading, MA, his grandchildren Veronica and Griffin Burke, and many nieces and nephews.
In lieu of a service, there will be a Celebration of Life at an upcoming date. Donations in Jerry’s name can be made to St. Francis House, www.stfrancishouse.org
Arrangements entrusted to Farmer & Dee Funeral Home, Tewksbury.
