I was so sorry to hear of Norlyn's passing tonight. We were co-workers and friends in the late 80's, and had lost touch over the years. She always made me laugh and was a truly decent, trustworthy person. My condolences to her family and loved ones.

Dearest friends, Just want to express my deepest sympathy over the loss of your beloved, daughter, sister, aunt and friend.

The news of Norlyns passing has been such a shock. We we're friends as kids, and recently caught up on facebook. I am so sorry for the loss you are all suffering.My mom (Joan Semanco) who considers Norlyn Sr. a friend(and is completly technologly challenged)is anxious to let Norlyn know how sorry she is and would love to speak to her. Having lost a daughter herself...she hopes she may be some comfort. So, if it's a week, a month or a year from now...Norlyn please know that Joan is thinking of you, and wants to be there. Her # is 203-463-8755. Peace to all of you. God Bless, Fondly, The Semanco Family

It was a shock to hear of Norlyn's passing. She was such a dynamic person. I did not know her well, but I knew Alex and Zach-now grown up! This is a tremendous loss to you both, as well as to the rest of the family and the community. They same time heals all, but it seems to stand still after such a tragic loss. It will get better, but the grieving process is lonely and never easy...take good care

Having worked with Norlyn for 10 years at IvyBiomedical, I had come to know what a very special person she was. Her infectious smile, quick wit and compassion was visible and her display of affection for my daughter will always be remembered. Norlyn was a dedicated mother and it was apparent the love she had for her two sons when we were introduced. Her display of affection and admiration was so apparent. It is with heavy heart conveying my condolences in the passing of a very special lady who will surely be missed. In sympathy, Elliot Blank

I was heartbroken to hear about Norlyn's passing. Though I knew her only through the fitness classes we took together at the Valley YMCA, feel like I knew her quite well because she was so open and approachable. Before class we would wait out in the hall and she would talk about her two sons and what they were up to. During class we would have fun, never really taking ourselves too seriously. Norlyn will be truly missed by all who knew her.

She was a huge part of the '86 Nonnewaug High track team championship. She never gave up especially when we needed points for the win. As a captain of the team, I knew we were in good hands because she always came up big for the team. She will be missed.

I extend my very sincerest and most heartfelt condolences to Norlyn's family. We were friends in high school but lost touch over the years. We had just recently gotten back in touch through Facebook and it was like we had never parted company! Norlyn was always able to bring a smile to my face, and although my heart is saddened by her passing, just thinking of her brings that smile back to my face. God now has a beautiful angel with Him. Peace and happy memories.

Condolence From Bob Rutkowski

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 19:08:00 EDT

To Family and Friends: Last year I "friended" Norlyn on FB and she accepted right away. We actually made fun of one another's legs last week. I was her track coach at Nonnewaug and she was an integral part of "that championship season" team in '86 that went undefeated. She was sassy and arrogant but a tough competitor who always came through for the team. On a team of talented but goofy and quirky personalities she ranked right up there - she used to compete with her Michael Jackson one white glove on. I will have the fondest memories of Norlyn, one of my all-time favorites. Citius, Altius, Fortius Norlyn! Love, COACH RUT
