Deirdre Josephine Norman (née Grattan)

We are so very sad about the passing away of our fabulous mum. She was a wonderful spirit. So kind, loving, warm, caring and with a smile that sparkled. She was our biggest cheerleader no matter how big our small our achievement. Her life was dedicated to her family and I only hope to be half the mum to my children that she was to me. We hope to find a way to exist with the sadness we are feeling and to hold her closely in our hearts. Gone but never never forgotten. Until we meet again somewhere over the rainbow. Catherine xxx

We are all so shocked by Deirdre's sudden passing - what a hole she has left in our family. She was a great mother-in-law and an amazing grandmother to our girls. I thought she would be keeping me in DIY jobs for another couple of decades! We still can't believe she's gone. What a special and unforgettable character. You'll always be 'The General' to me, Deirdre. Love Chris x

So deeply saddened at the loss of Deirdre. She was a joy to work with, so well liked, funny and caring. God bless you xxx

We are truly devastated at the sudden loss of our wonderful Mum. Warm, loving, kind, bubbly, funny and so beautiful. A very special lady who leaves behind husband Brian, daughters Anna & Catherine, and her four much-loved little granddaughters; Cleo, Flora, Clara & Josie. We miss you desperately, Mum. Until we meet again xxx
