Norma Camporelli Obituary
05/19/1930 - 11/16/2025
Norma Camporelli of Sonoma, CA passed away peacefully with family and friends by her side on November 16, 2025 after a brief illness at the age of 95. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 62 years Ernest (Ernie) Camporelli, Jr. She is survived by her son Glenn Camporelli of Elk Grove, CA, son Gregory and daughter-in-law Lisa Camporelli of Glen Ellen. She is also survived by loving sisters Tosca Lenci, Laura Goodman (Duane), and Assunta Lenci as well as many other loving extended family members. Norma was born on May 19, 1930 in San Francisco to Ansano and Angelina (Bernardini) Lenci. Norma graduated in 1948 from Galileo High School and was very involved in high school sports. After graduation Norma worked for the
advertising firm Foster and Kleiser. She met her future husband Ernie in the early 1950's and they married in 1954 after Ernie returned from his military service during the Korean conflict. In 1957 they settled into their first home in San Rafael where they started their family. After starting their family, Norma began taking classes at Anthony Schools to study for her real estate license exam. After passing the exam, Norma began
to work in the real estate world to go on to negotiate many purchases and sales of homes in the Marin and Sonoma County areas. After moving to Sonoma in 1977,
Norma also went on to work as a volunteer "Pink Lady" with the Sonoma Valley Hospital Axillary (now disbanded) and was at one point president of the auxiliary during that time. Upon retiring from the real estate business she began to travel extensively with
husband Ernie going on various excursions, cruises, and tours. Norma had a wicked sense of humor and even during the most uncomfortable moments towards the end of her life she could still make you laugh with a joke. Norma's loving and gentle soul touched many people over her lifetime and she will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
