Norma Reifschneider

Norma Reifschneider was a woman of God, a woman of faith and a woman of grace. It is with deep love and sadness we announce the passing of this devoted daughter, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend.

Heaven gained a new angel when Norma died peacefully on Sunday March 29, 2026. She spent her final days surrounded by her loved ones with care and compassion.

Her faith was her foundation. She found peace and strength in praying the Holy Rosary every single day. It was a daily devotion that grounded her and reflected her deep spiritual commitment.

She always parted ways with words that were meaningful. She never ended a phone call, conversation or brief visit without saying "I love you" and "God bless you." Those words became a signature of her spirit.

Norma was the heart and soul of her family. She found joy in taking care of everyone she loved. To many she was more than a grandmother; she was a second mother, a safe place and a guiding light. She’s known for her kind heart, strong spirit and feisty yet loving personality. Norma was fiercely independent, resilient, and full of wisdom. Her smile could light up a room. She expressed her love through cooking homemade meals for her family. She had a gift for bringing people together and making ordinary moments feel special. She was strong, determined, and full of life.

Norma spent countless hours crafting beautiful quilts for her loved ones. Through her hands ordinary materials were turned into lasting heirlooms. Reminding her family they will always be covered with her love. Just like her quilts, her spirit is stitched into the fabric of her family who carry on her legacy and memory. She will be forever missed. We love you and God bless you.

She is preceded in death by her husband Edward Reifschneider, her parents Tomasa Santiago Cardona and Antonio Soto Cardona, and her eldest son Roberto William Serrano, Jr.

She leaves behind to carry on her memory, four sisters Gloria Santiago, Antonia Soto, Lucy Soto, and Nilda Soto and one brother Sigfredo Soto. She was the proud mother of five children, Roberto William Serrano, Jr, Mary Serrano, Norma Abrego (Jose Carlos), Sonia Serrano and Antonio Serrano (Monique). Her legacy extends beyond her children including eleven grandchildren, and nine great grandchildren. She is also remembered by the children and grandchildren of her late husband Edward Reifschneider.
