She was born on February 23, 1929 in Beaverville, Illinois to the late Isaac and Aledea (Marquis) Arseneau.
Norma graduated from Holy Family Academy in 1947 where she was the Valedictorian.
On February 20, 1950 she married William A. Cyr in St. Mary's Church in Beaverville, Il. He preceded her in death on November 20, 2017.
Norma worked as a secretary for 40 years for her husband's company, Cyr Plumbing & Heating. She had previously worked for Funks Feed, Samual's, and as a seamstress.
Norma was a parishioner at St. Mary Cathedral in Lafayette and St. James Catholic Church in Lake Placid. She was a member of Associate Professional Women's Club, an associate member of Delta Sigma Kappa, Womens Auxiliary Association of Indiana Contractors, and served on many committee's with St. Mary Cathedral and Central Catholic PTO. For many years, Norma and William spent their winters in Stuart, FL or Lake Placid, Fl.
