Janet Norman

Janet Mary Norman, (new Fratz), 75, of Philadelphia, PA, passed away on July 14, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones.
Janet was born on July 9, 1950, in Philadelphia, PA, to George and June Fratz. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Larry Norman, with whom she shared many wonderful years of marriage, and by her daughter, Jeanette Stauffenberg.
She worked for many years as a home health aide until her retirement. She truly enjoyed caring for others and often shared stories about the people she helped. Janet loved her close-knit community of Penny Pack and was known to everyone for her infectious smile. She was also a proud member of the Red Hat Society and the Penny Pack Seniors. Laughter and conversation meant more to her than any material thing in the world. And if there was Motown and a dance floor, her aches and pains didn't stand a chance.
Janet was the proud mother of three children. She is survived by her son, Frank (Ashley) Palestini; her daughter, Diane (Manuel) Torrijos; and her son-in-law, Mike Stauffenberg. She also leaves behind eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, who brought her endless joy in life. She was also preceded in death by two brothers, Gary Fratz and George Fratz,
A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, August 3, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Croydon VFW Post, located at 901 Bellevue Avenue, Croydon, PA 19021. Food and refreshments will be served at 3 pm. Friends and family are invited to attend and celebrate Janet's life and share the many memories we had with her.
