NormaStanleyFletcher. Terribly sad news we are afraid.

Norma had been a Mumsnet regular over the years and we are so sad to let you know that earlier this morning she died. She had been very ill (not Covid related ) and in the end her body couldn't cope any more. Devastating for her husband and their wonderful children, their families and friends. They will miss her terribly.

Norma really wasn't one to burden others with her worries, but was a very kind and selfless friend. So supportive of others. Generous to a fault in many ways, and very bloody entertaining.

Utterly devastating news.

We thought there may be folk on here who'd like to remember her. It's such a shock. Can't quite take it in. :(

We will miss her.

Sending so much love to her family xxx

I'm very sorry to hear this about Norma. My condolences to her poor family. I also had absolutely no idea that she was ill, let alone seriously so. Sad

@BIWI

(Although it's lovely to see so many 'old' MNettters posting)
It really is lovely to see so many familiar and rarely seen now names. Sad that it has to be in relation to such tragic news but somehow comforting💐💕
scallopsrgreat · 08/08/2020 09:56

Such sad news. She really was amazing. Her family and friends must be devastated.

I'm going to steal FloraFox's statement.

Rest in Power x

The Christmas appeal. Blimey that was some organisation. Stand in awe

I was blessed to know her very well. I’m still in shock about it all.

Things I will remember most about her are her laugh, which was infectious and wonderful. Her love for her friends and for women in general, which was huge and generously applied. Her wisdom, her kindness, her thoughtfulness and the fierceness of her friendship.

I will miss her more than I can say and my heart breaks for her family, especially her brilliant girl. Rest well, darling J, all love from all of us x

JustineMumsnet · 08/08/2020 10:33

Hugely sorry to hear this, lovely lady who contributed so much to Mumsnet, not to mention the best heckle of all time Flowers.

sadpapercourtesan · 08/08/2020 10:38

Oh no Sad Norma was an absolute star. She'll be terribly missed.
