Things will be quiet around here for a few days. A family friend passed away this weekend. She was the wife of the boy who took me to my junior prom.
Enfield Woman Dies; Hit By Van Driven By Mother
“A great mom … always there for somebody,” her husband, Dan Post, said Saturday afternoon.
That is how people in Enfield will remember his wife, Norma, a 39-year-old resident who died hours earlier in a pedestrian accident at the King Street Mobil on Route 5.
Her mother, Carol Dodd, 70, of Enfield, was the driver of a van police say hit Post at 4:56 a.m. in the station’s parking lot. An ambulance rushed Post to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, where she was pronounced dead.
No charges had been filed and the investigation was still underway Saturday, police said.
And her obituary.
POST, Norma E. (Dodd) Norma E. (Dodd) Post, of Enfield, whose earthly journey ended unexpectedly on Saturday (May 16, 2009), has gone on to her eternal life. Norma was the beloved wife of 17 years to Daniel Post, devoted and loving mother of Isabella, 14 and Lillian, 10, and daughter of Frank P. Sr. and Carol (Sullivan) Dodd of Enfield. She is also survived by her grandfather, Joseph White of Enfield; a sister, Theresa (Dodd) Barnaby and husband, Dan of Holland, MA; two brothers, Jim Dodd and wife, Michelle of Enfield and Frank P. Dodd, Jr. of Florida along with many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. She will be greatly missed but will always remain in our hearts. She was predeceased by her grandmother Mary Lou White. Norma was born on May 20, 1969 in Nashville, TN and resided in Enfield for the past 31 years. She attended St. Adalbert’s School and graduated from Enfield High School. Norma was currently employed with Hallmark Cards, Inc., St. Bernard’s Church/School and Smyth Bus Co. As dedicated mother and school supporter Norma was a member of the St. Bernard’s School Board and ran the St. Bernard’s School Bingo. She also was a member of the Enfield 4th of July Committee for the past 13 years, was on the Enfield Town Charter Revision Committee, active in local politics and volunteered at the Little Sisters of the Poor/St. Joseph’s Residence. She was a huge UT VOLS fan. Norma touched so many lives it is nearly impossible to describe how much she will be missed. All of those who loved her know that she is now among the angels she loved so much. Her greatest joys in life were her daughters, husband and entire family. Funeral services in celebration of Norma’s life will be held on Wednesday May 20, 2009 with the funeral procession forming at 10 a.m. from Browne Memorial Funeral Chapels 43 Shaker Rd. Enfield to St. Patrick’s Church for a 11 a.m. Mass of Christian Burial followed by internment at St. Patrick’s King St. Cemetery in Enfield. Norma’s family will receive relatives and friends on Tuesday May 19, from 3-8 p.m. at Browne Memorial Funeral Chapels.
