Norman Bluestein

Norman Bluestein on May 2, 2023. Beloved husband to the late Leona Bluestein, dear father to Celina Fiorino, cherished grandfather to Mark Fiorino and his wife Katrina, and deeply loved partner to Carol Fagan, Norman passed away peacefully in his sleep on Tuesday afternoon after being visited by family and friends. He also leaves behind his adoring niece Eileen and her husband Jeff, dear nephews Gary, Sammy and Jerry and their wives Jamie, Sue and Wilma. He was predeceased by his loving sister Ethel Brucker (2006).

Graveside services will be held at Shalom Memorial Park at 3573 Pine Road, Huntingdon Valley, PA on Tuesday May 9th, 2023, where Norman will be laid to peaceful rest beside his wife Leona at 11am, the ceremony led by Rabbi Jason Bonder. We will conclude with lunch for our party at La Casa Di Lucia, 14425 Bustleton Ave, Philadelphia, where we can break bread and reflect on the well-lived, generous, and loving 91+ years for which Norman graced and enriched the lives of those he knew.

In lieu of gifts or flowers, please consider donating to the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia – an organization Norman supported often and regularly. He truly believed in the principle of leaving things a little better than when you found them, finding room for others in nearly all his actions - so donations to support the same causes he believed in would honor his legacy best. Thank you.
