Norma ‘Sis’ Todaro – formerly of Newell
Norma “Sis” Todaro, 95, formerly of Newell, was ushered into the presence of her Lord Jesus Christ on Sunday, March 5, 2023. Born in Star Junction on Oct. 29, 1927, she was the daughter of the late George “Posie” and Elizabeth Donovan Rose. Norma worked at Anchor Hocking, the Frazier School District cafeteria, various restaurants and counseling at the New Life Options Pregnancy Resource Center. She was a faithful member of Bible Alliance Church, where she served in the choir, was a deaconess, greeter and former Sunday school teacher. She also worked with the nursing home ministry at Fayette City Alliance Church. Norma’s passion was serving her Lord, and her passion was passed on to her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed traveling with her husband, taking care of her grandkids, getting her hair done and eating sweets. She enjoyed her time of resting after her long days of serving others. Norma’s last residency was at TLC nursing home in West Newton for the last seven years. We want to thank the TLC staff for their great care of Norma. Norma had an infectious smile that touched many. She is survived by her sons, the Rev. Frank (Diane) Todaro, James (Barbra) Todaro, Mark (Carolyn) Todaro and Fred (Debbie) Todaro; son-in-law, Mark Wood; her grandchildren, Chaplain Maj. Matthew Todaro, Master Sgt.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Dominic “Chinky” Todaro; daughter, Candie Jean; granddaughter, Nicole Fine; sisters, Esther, Violeta, Betty, Billie and Virgina; and brothers, Tom and George.
