Norma Lee Lynch passed away peacefully Thursday, July 18, 2024, at her home in Millsboro. She was born March 25, 1934, in Salisbury, Md., to the late Reuben Marvel and Clevia Marvel (Wells).
Before embarking on her journey as a beloved mother and grandmother, Noram led a fulfilling career. Her early days were spent at NCR in Millsboro, where she developed a strong work ethic until its closing. She transitioned to Mountaire Poultry for 20 years, before retiring to dedicate more time to her family.
Norma wholeheartedly embraced life in Mt. Herman and later in Gumboro, after marrying the late Paul (Pete) Lynch.
She is predeceased by her parents; her husband; and her sisters,, Nancy Gordy and Gloria Donohue.

An avid cook and baker, Norma’s brownies were legendary among those who knew her. She nurtured her sharp mind with crossword and word search puzzles, and enjoyed the simple pleasures of attending auctions and yard sales. Above all, Norma’s favorite role was engaging in the lives of her children and grandchildren, and loving her “Sweetie.”
A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m., Tuesday, July 23, at Watson Funeral Home, Millsboro, where friends and family may visit beginning at 10 a.m.
