Norma Marick
d. July 23, 2012
NORMA ISABELLE MARICK, aged 95, died on July 23, 2012, at Carroll Hospice Dove House in Westminster, MD.
Born November 6, 1916, in Baltimore, MD, she was the daughter of the late Flaminio and Mary Corradi Rossi. She was the wife of the late George J. Marick, whom she married on September 22, 1938. They were happily married for 48 years until George's death in 1986.
A resident of Carroll County in the Mt. Airy area since 1949, Norma was active until recently in St. Michael's Church, Poplar Springs, MD, tending to the altar and helping with Monday night bingo. She was a dynamic member of the Mt. Airy Senior Center 55 Plus Club, and she loved to dance and exercise. Previously she and George were active in several square and round dance clubs. In her youth she worked at Community Garage, the family business in Dundalk, MD, as bookkeeper and test driver of motorcycles. She and George thrived on their Mt. Airy farm where Norma reigned as homemaker supreme and beloved family matriarch.
Small in stature yet mighty in spirit and devotion to the Catholic faith, Norma is remembered for her sunny smile and uplifting presence. Most recently she loved being on the go, ready for each day's adventures, donned in her trademark pink sneakers, brightly colored outfits and matching accessories. She leaves a lifelong legacy of service to her family, friends and community, including much time and energy volunteered to the Mt. Airy Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary.
Surviving are children Anthony Marick and wife Waltraud of Mt. Airy; Charlotte Abell and partner Robert Harrod, Jr., of Winfield; Joseph Marick and wife Vicki of Mt. Airy; Michael Marick and wife Audrey of Lisbon; Mary O'Brien and husband Maurice of Tralee, Ireland; Gina Miller and partner Bill Snyder of Sykesville; and John Marick and wife Davena of Sykesville.

Marick; Andrew, Brian and Sean Marick; Chandra Cook and Michelle Peterson; Dennis Hetrick; Daniel Miller; and John, Justin, Joel and Jordan Marick.

She is also survived by sisters Margaret Rukstelis of Dundalk, MD and Joan Mavor of North Carolina. She was predeceased by brothers Joseph, William, Albino and Frank Rossi; sisters Enes Stewart and Carmen Rossi and grandson Peter Winter.
