Norma Liedtke Obituary
December 29, 1942 - April 29, 2022
Norma McWilliams Liedtke died unexpectedly at the age of 79, surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Visalia, CA, to Pattie Dwelle McWilliams and Joseph G. McWilliams, M.D., and raised in Providence and Barrington, R. I.
In 1963 Norma moved to the San Francisco Bay area where she met and married her future husband, Charles Liedtke. She began a long career with PacBell and AT&T, working in administrative and supportive services positions. Family dedication, gardening, golfing and the excitement of travel created many areas of interest. In retirement, a great deal of her time and energy was devoted to special needs children and young adults, coupled with extensive volunteering at St. Elizabeth and SEA Episcopal Churches (in San Bruno) which included many activities and leadership roles.
Charles Liedtke, her husband, predeceased her, along with her parents and two siblings, Caroline McWilliams Douglas and Kelly Jo McWilliams Dvareckas. She is survived by her sister, Patti McWilliams, her son, John J. Liedtke, and grandchildren John J. Liedtke, Jr, Katie Liedtke, and Robert Liedtke; stepsons Robert Liedtke (Liz) and Raymond Liedtke; nephews Casey Dvareckas and Sean Douglas (Rachel Bartov); niece Jill Dvareckas, coupled with numerous cousins, cherished family members, and friends.
A memorial service will be held at SEA Episcopal Church, 1600 Santa Lucia Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, on May 28, 2022 at 11 am. Masks are required. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory to Samaritan House, 4031 Pacific Blvd., San Mateo, CA 94403, SEA Episcopal Church, San Bruno, CA, or a charity of your choice.

Time has not eased the pain of losing you. I still say "Hi" to you as I pass your house and see your car. You were a bright light in so many lives and the world just seems a little darker without you. Give Mom, Dad and Ray a big hug for me if you see them and I'm sending a big one to you.

Norma, I miss you so much, but you will always be in my heart. I love our years together at SEA and being on the bishop committee with you. You were such a class act.

Norma was such a special and dear lady. My Mom and I had the pleasure of her friendship for 35 years as parishioners of St Elizabeth's Episcopal Church. She greeted us on our first Sunday and became very important in our lives. I am numb at the thought that she is gone but she will never be forgotten and her memory will always bring a smile. Rest in Peace Dear Norma, you have earned it. Give my Mama a hug for me until I can give you both one when I join the heavenly congregation.
