Norma Louise Bloomfield, 83, of Camp Dix, passed away Sunday afternoon at UK St. Claire in Morehead. She was surrounded by her family.
Norma was born on March 19, 1941, a daughter of the late Ira Lee and Marie Richmond Gilliam.
She was an alumni of Morehead State University where she earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English. She was an English teacher at Central Elementary School in Vanceburg for 33-and-a-half years and never had a bad day teaching. In her retirement, she enjoyed traveling, reading, gardening, thrift shopping, and spending time with her family and dogs.
Left to cherish her memories are her only son, Eric Bloomfield, and daughter in-law, Andrea Bloomfield, of Camp Dix; three grandchildren, Grace Bloomfield and Evan Bloomfield of Vanceburg, and Ethan Bloomfield of Mt. Sterling; and five sisters, Nellie Walters of Johnsville, Ohio, Mildred Bloomfield, Carolyn (Delbert) McGlone, and Phyllis (Bob) Bentley of Camp Dix, and Donetta (Ronnie) Beiland of Warren, Ohio. She also leaves many nieces and nephews who will miss her.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 29 years, Merl Bloomfield; two sisters, Rebecca Bryant and Willena Blankenship; and five brothers, Burton, Oscar, Clifford, Roscoe, and Ronnie Gilliam.
A private family service will be held in Morgan Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, Norma’s family is requesting donations be made to Morehead State University in her honor.
Pallbearers will be Ethan Bloomfield, Evan Bloomfield, Jerry Bloomfield, Patrick McGlone, Rodney McGlone, Bobby Bentley, and Nick Adams.
