Mary Kathleen Norton

NORTON---Mary Kathleen. God called Mary Kathleen Norton home on October 9,  2022, far too soon at the age of 44. She was born on June 10, 1978, in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Daniel Norton Sr. and Margaret Marron Norton, (formerly of Windber, Pennsylvania) and lived the majority of her life in Springfield, Virginia. She was the first born of four children. She is survived by both parents, her brother, Daniel Norton Jr, and twin sisters, Kathryn Norton and Kristine Riegner. Mary was handed a life of many ups and downs, but also an incredible amount of strength through all of the trials. She was someone who would give you the shirt off of her back and anything you needed. Mary suffered more physical and mental pain than the majority of us could ever imagine, but she powered through it each day. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. The family will receive friends for visitation at Noon, Friday, October 21, 2022, at Harris Funeral Home, 500 Cherry Lane, Johnstown, followed by a funeral service to celebrate Mary’s life at 1 p.m. with Fr. David S. Peles officiating. Please come to pay your respects. Committal, Richland Cemetery in the Marron family lot. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Mary’s name to The ARC (https://thearc.org/get-involved/ways-give/). The family will host a small local gathering following the service.
