It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Gwendolyn M. Norris, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, who left us on April 8, 2025, at the age of 86. Gwendolyn was born on September 24, 1938, in Kingston, Jamaica to her parents George and Nita Francis. She brought her kind and caring spirit to the lives of those around her.

Gwendolyn pursued an education that led her to earn an Associate's degree, demonstrating her commitment to personal growth and professional development. Her career path took her into the realm of cosmetics, where she worked in clerical positions, showcasing her organizational skills and dedication to serving others.

Gwendolyn was a cherished member of her family. She is survived by her loving daughter, Debby DiModugno, her son, Christian Peaks, and her beloved granddaughter, Kaylan DiModugno. She was also predeceased by her sister, The Late Pearl, who held a special place in her heart.

A Mass in memory of Gwendolyn will be held on April 12, 2025, at 11:15 AM at Saints Cyril & Methodius R.C. Church, located at 125 Half Hollow Rd., Deer Park, NY 11729.
