Norma Ruth Heselton passed away at home, in the embrace of loved ones, on Wednesday April 10, 2013 following a lengthy and fearless battle with cancer. After defying all the odds and beating breast cancer some 40 years ago, she filled her days with gardening, collecting stamps and coins, bird-watching, playing cards and helping to raise her many grandchildren, most of whom she got to watch grow up and start their own families. She also enjoyed going to Foxwoods Casino and spoke often of her next trip there. She is survived and greatly missed by her husband Richard; her two siblings; her seven children; nephews, nieces and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Mom,
your hand we held throughout the night
then came the hardest day of my life
in my mind the memories clear
of the greatest mom i love so dear
i hold you close to my aching heart
wishing we never ever had to part
but angels came and took you away
i shed a tear for you each and every day
in all this pain im going through
i feel better mom just for knowing you
until we meet again---A K Q J 10
