Norma Honeywell

Norma Honeywell, age 79 of Wayne passed away peacefully on Tuesday March, 19, 2019 while receiving the loving care of her family.

Norma was raised in North Haledon and was one of three children to Conrad and Evelyn Bubb.  She attended public school and graduated from Hawthorne High School with the class of 1957.  Some of her interests as a young lady were employment as a Private Secretary, Social Dancing Club, Art Club, Hunting and Fishing Club and High School social gatherings such as Pep Rallies, Games and Dances. Norma got married while she was still a young woman in August of 1957.  After getting married she devoted herself to becoming a full-time homemaker, and remained so for the next twenty five years.  During those years she devoted herself to nurturing and caring for her three children.

In 1982 Norma, having become a single mother, decided she needed to get back into the workforce to provide for herself and her youngest child. She found work rather quickly.  Norma worked as a bookkeeper for Friendly’s Restaurants for 10yrs and then for Chilton Memorial Hospital in Pequannock until her retirement in 2014.  Throughout the years as a homemaker, and as a working single mother, she made countless sacrifices for her children.

Norma enjoyed gardening, particularly growing flowers and also cherished creating various types of floral arrangements.  She also enjoyed being outdoors and “close to nature.”   She was completely devoted to her Christian Faith and had a firm belief and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.  She was an outspoken woman and you always knew where you stood with Norma.  She cherished her family and treasured spending time with her eight grandchildren.  Norma touched the lives of many people and will be sincerely missed by everyone that knew her.

Norma is survived by her two daughters Robyn Pombo of Wayne, and Michelle Bradley of Liberty, NY, one son Stephen Honeywell and his wife Melissa of Highland Lakes, and eight grandchildren; Richard Iannotta of Monticello, NY, Marissa Pombo of West Milford, Michael Hubinger of Liberty, NY, Danielle Oliver of Oklahoma City, OK, Robert Pombo of West Milford, Troy Honeywell of Highland Lakes, Solomon Honeywell of Highland Lakes, and Jayna Honeywell of Highland Lakes.  She was predeceased by her sister Janice Westdyk, and her brother Bruce Bubb.
