It is with deep sympathy that the Deale Volunteer Fire Department announces the death of Elizabeth “Betty” Catterton Norfolk on March 16, 2024. She will be greatly missed and our continued thoughts and prayers go out to the Norfolk family during this time.
Elizabeth (Betty) Catterton Norfolk passed away March 16, 2024 at Anne Arundel Medical Center. She was born June 8, 1935, in Greenock, MD to Robert Francis and Elizabeth Nutwell Catterton. Betty graduated from Southern High School in 1953. She married Kenneth Norfolk on August 4, 1956. They built a home and raised their family in Tracy’s Landing, MD.
Betty worked at the Deale Public Library. She was a lifetime member of the Deale VFD Ladies Auxiliary. She was a member of Oakland United Methodist Church until its closing and then she attended St. Mark’s Episcopal Church. She was the caregiver for her grandmother and her aunt and uncles. Betty was a great source of advice and comfort to her large extended family.
