CHEPACHET — Jasmine E. Norton, 45, died unexpectedly Oct. 28, 2020. Born Oct. 25, 1975, in Hamilton, Bermuda, she was the daughter of Paul J. Norton and Hannelore (Fulton) Wiik.
Jasmine graduated Summa Cum Laude from Quinebaug Valley Community College in 1997, earning her associate’s degree in accounting. She went on to work as an accountant and bookkeeper.
Jasmine enjoyed Madonna, Broadway musicals, gardening, antiquing and yard sales, and according to her mother, “she was always looking for good deals.” She was forever a cat lover, and will finally see Nosey and Snoopy once again. She loved watching The King of Queens, and reminiscing over photo albums and home videos with her family. In her free time, her favorite thing to do was spend time with her two girls.
She was beautiful, funny and very smart, with a heart of gold. She was the most selfless individual – always the first to offer help to others, even at times when she had very little. Her drive and determination were an inspiration to many, and her positive energy was infectious to all who knew her.
In addition to her parents and stepfather John Wiik, she leaves daughters: Kayla H. Norton and her fiancé Dylan Gendreau of Moosup, and Carly J. Millette of Woodstock; her brother Joshua Norton of Norwich; grandmother Elisabeth Fulton of N. Grosvenordale; dearest friend Lisa N’Chonon of Pomfret Center.
Visitation is from 1 to 3 p.m. Nov. 7 at Gilman Funeral Home, 104 Church St., Putnam. Please wear facial covering be worn at all times, and observe social distancing guidelines. Donations: Either 501-c non-profit charitable foundations — Shatterproof, SAMHSA, and Helping Others Live Sober.
