Norma Crawford
29th August 1932 - 17th December 2025Norma Elizabeth Crawford's story starts on August 29, 1932, when she was born in Box Hill, Victoria, Australia to parents Joseph Cox, a nurseryman, and Fanny Cox, a housewife. When Norma was 22, she married her husband, Neil Crawford and on 12th March 2025 they celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. They began their married life in Mitcham and went on to become parents to Rosemary, Elaine, Robyn, and Janet. Norma adored Neil, her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and all subsequent partners. Norma and Neil remained in the same home until 2025 when poor health stepped in and they moved to Aged Care in Croydon. Her other loves were her faith and connection with God and her music. Norma taught both piano and organ for many years and played organ at her church for over 5 decades. Norma was also involved with many Committees and Charities and was tireless in her input in these activities. Saying 'I'm unable to help' was not a phrase that flowed easily from Norma's mouth. Norma is loved by family and friends alike. She will be deeply and fondly missed and forever remembered. We encourage you to help keep her story alive by sharing a memory or reflection.
The Musical Memorial for Norma will be held at the Forest Hill Uniting Church beginning at 11.30am on Monday 19th January. Following the service there will be light refreshments offered in the Church Hall.
