After graduation, Norma married her high school sweetheart, Edward N. Trembula and they celebrated 71 years of marriage together. Norma and Ed settled in Burlington Township in 1966 with the orchards and open spaces as their backyard. She was employed in various clerical positions throughout her working career at United Aero, National Gypsum, Masonic Home of NJ and lastly for the chiropractic office of Dr. Stephen Matlaga.

In her later years, she was fond of observing the wildlife that frequented their backyard, identifying the animal tracks, checking the birds at the feeder and waiting for the deer to return at dusk.
