April 12, 1957 - July 21, 2017 Norma went to be with the Lord on July 21, 2017. She was born on April 12, 1957 in Glendale, CA to Antonio and Hortencia Gardoni. Norma went through all her school years in Palmdale, CA and graduated in 1975. Growing up she always loved animals and going fishing. As Norma became an adult she continued to love fishing, growing roses, gardening, bird watching and being with the house cats. Norma worked in the aircraft industry as an air-frame mechanic from the time she graduated from high school until 2016. She always loved and was very passionate about her job and the people she worked with. Norma met Sam Lovejoy in 1997 and they were married on July 16, 2002 and stayed married until her death. Most importantly, Norma was a Christian and nothing could change her faith in the Lord. She would always light up the room she came into with her smile and singing. We will all miss her tremendously.
