Norma J. Bryson passed away on Sunday, August 3, 2014 with her family by her side. She fought a courageous battle with lymphoma. She was 83 years old.
Norma was born to Charles and Gertrude Totten on July 4, 1931 in Mt. Kisco Hospital. She married John Bryson on July 11, 1948, in Goldens Bridge, NY. He predeceased her in 2003.
