Norma R. (Silva) Dugan, age 90, a longtime resident of Marblehead, passed away peacefully on Jan. 26, following complications from pneumonia. She was the beloved wife of the late George R. Dugan, Jr.
Norma is survived by her four loving children: Stephen Dugan of North Reading and his wife, Kate; Kathleen Martin of Peabody; Mark Dugan of Peabody and his wife, Anna; and Lauri Stilianos of Peabody and her husband, Jonathan.
She was a deeply proud grandmother to six and a great-grandmother to nine, with her 10th great-granddaughter expected to arrive in March. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought her immeasurable joy.
Above all, Norma cherished time spent with her family. She also found happiness in baking, reading and walking along Lynn Shore Drive with a Dunkin’ coffee in hand. Those walks often included conversation and laughter with her dear friend, Betsy, along with a stop at the neighborhood little free libraries on her way home to Marblehead. And, of course, she tried to never miss her favorite soap opera, “The Young and the Restless,” which she watched for over 50 years!
Visiting hours will be held on Thursday, Feb. 5, 4-7 p.m. at Eustis & Cornell of Marblehead, 142 Elm St. A funeral Mass will be celebrated on Friday, Feb. 6, at 11 a.m. at Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, 85 Atlantic Ave. Interment will be private at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Norma’s memory to a charity of one’s choice. Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at eustisandcornellfuneralhome.com for Norma’s family.
