Norma Elizabeth Dalla Santa

Friends and family were blessed with over 82 years of love and life with Norma Dalla Santa, who passed peacefully on October 3, 2017, surrounded by her spouse and long-time companion Sue Ellen Johnson, and her children, Alan and Paul Dalla Santa and Cece Callen. Memorial Services will be held Saturday, October 14th at 2 p.m. at King of Kings Lutheran Church, 18207 108th Ave SE, Renton, WA 98055. Although Norma did not have specific requests outlined, please consider making a donation in Norma’s memory to the Washington State chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association http://www.alz.org/alzwa/. Norma was born November 24, 1934 to Mildred and William Dietrich in Hartford, Connecticut, and was raised in New Haven, CT and St. Petersburg, FL. Norma also lived on Merritt Island, FL before moving to Seattle, WA in 1974. She worked at the Boeing Company for many years, retiring from the Finance department in 1989. In addition to her children, Norma took delight in the lives and activities of her seven grandchildren: Christopher, Nathan, Kevin, Trevor and Toby Dalla Santa; Kayce Callen Love and Cameron Callen. She was preceded in death by her ex-husband Natale Dalla Santa, Jr. (1991), and is survived by brother Paul Alan Dietrich. Avid travelers, Norma and Sue Ellen enjoyed many years adventuring about the country in their motorhome and treasured the friendships made through the RVing Women (RVW) organization. They drove as far north as Alaska and as far south as Florida in the RV, and spent many winters in the company of friends at Superstitious Mountain Resort in Apache Junction, AZ.
