Norma Jean Mantecon, age 50, of Howell, Michigan, passed on June 21st, 2025 in Ann Arbor. She was born December 22nd, 1974, in Pontiac, Michigan, to Vicki Campbell and Michael Campbell.
Norma married the love of her life on June 1st, 1996. They spent 29 wonderful years as husband and wife. Norma was known for her willingness to help anyone, her beautiful heart, as well as her love for everyone around her. She loved her job as a respiratory therapist, because she was able to wake up and help people. Norma enjoyed reading many books, spending as much time out in the sun as she could, but the most important thing was spending time with her family and friends.
Norma will be missed dearly by her loving spouse, Matt Mantecon; her children Taylor Mantecon, Austin Mantecon; her siblings, Michael (Dana) Kochan, Mandy (Jason) Chandler, Amy (Jeremy) Bassett, Cassie Campbell; many loving nieces and nephews; and other loving family members and dear friends.
Norma's family will be gathering Saturday, June 28th, 2025, from 10 AM-12 PM at Watkins Brothers Funeral Homes, MacDonald Chapel, 315 N. Michigan Ave, Howell, followed by a funeral service at 12PM.
