Norma Futterman Obituary
01/22/1930 - 08/02/2010
Norma Lamkin Futterman peacefully passed away on August 2, 2010 at her home in Beverly Hills, Ca. She was surrounded by those who loved her. During her life she was a generous supporter of the arts including over 20 years of active fund-raising for the Santa Monica-Westside Philharmonic Committee in support of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. She was also a long-time member of the 99's club and an Honorary Director of the Air Race Classic.
Born in Kentucky, January 22, 1930, Norma moved to California in the late 1940's. After moving here, she met and married Charles Futterman, a marriage which lasted until he pre-deceased her.
She was survived by her daughter Anne Futterman-Jones, son and daughter in-law Arthur and Gail Futterman, three grandchildren Spencer Jones, Christopher and Amy Futterman.
Norma will be deeply-mourned by her family and her many close friends.
A memorial celebration of Norma's life will be held at a future date.

Art, Gayle, Anne, Chris, Amy & Spence,
How sad my heart was to read of your Mom's death! When I think of her & Jane no longer being where I can talk to them it makes me think of the song "Where have all the flowers gone?' & leaves this eighty yr. old feeling lonely. We had some good times together! Love Ya,
Aunt Shirley

Dear Family of Norma Futterman,
I've sent you an email but I'm not sure
if it was sent to you or not. So I shall
write another because we liked your mother
very much. When she was dating your father Charles lived in our apartment
building on Wilshire Blvd.
Norman was sweet, kind and my family
was very taken with her.
We visited your house on Hillgard at
which time she offered a parking place
in her driveway so until my sister would graduate. Barbara went to Paris
to study art instead.
When I began my UCLA extension classes
Norma was there too. She was the only
adult in the class. She was so pleasant
to all us "kids".
We lost track of your mother but Barbara
and I have memories of her kindnesses and we send our condolences.
