Rochester, NH – Norma Knight, 73, passed away unexpectedly but peacefully on August 18, 2025. Norma was a strong, independent woman who will be forever missed by her granddaughter, Samantha Siegel, and her two grandsons. She was predeceased by both of her children, Angela and John. She lived a life full of energy, always keeping busy with yard work, camping trips, and evenin of bingo. Known for telling things as they were, Norma's strength and resilience inspired everyone who knew her. She dedicated many years of service to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, where she made countless memories and shared endless stories of the trips she helped organize for her colleagues. Norma's legacy of strength, love, and perseverance will live on in the hearts of her family and friends. A celebration of life will be held on September 6, 2025, at the Rollinsford Legion from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Norma was a force of nature. She was unapologetically truthful, kind, and one of the two strongest women I have ever met in my life. She taught me a lot, and for that I will be forever grateful to her.

Sam, Kyle and Jimmy, I am so sorry for your loss. May your grandmother's life always inspire you to push harder and never give up, even when times seem hard.

I have faith in all of you.
