Obituary

AGAWAM - Eva Theresa (Boudry) Norman, 93, of Agawam, passed away peacefully on Friday, September 4, 2026. Born on October 1, 1932, in Springfield, Eva was the beloved daughter of the late James J. Boudry and Nellie (Gota) Boudry. Throughout her life, she devoted herself to family, church, and community. Her caring nature, warm heart, faith, and beautiful spirit created memories that will remain forever in the hearts of all who loved her. Eva grew up in the North End section of Springfield, working in her parent’s grocery store before moving to Agawam and marrying the love of her life, Joseph Paul Norman, Jr. Their love began and grew through beautiful letters written back and forth to one another while Joe was serving in the United States Marines in Korea. Upon his untimely death in 1976, Eva managed the Valley View Apartments in Holyoke where she flourished as the owner. After selling the apartments, she worked at Weight Watchers for the next thirty years. Employees and clients alike appreciated Eva’s genuine interest and sincerity in helping others.
