Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Norma Rose DeBolt, of Syracuse, passed away on Saturday, Oct. 10, 2026, at Lutheran Kosciusko Hospital, surrounded by her family at the age of 92.
She was born in Ligonier on Aug. 7, 1934, the daughter of Glen and Mildred Fought Stabler.
She graduated from Syracuse High School in 1952 and went on to build a remarkable career, retiring in 1999 from Silgan Plastics in Ligonier after 42 years as a silkscreen operator and maker. Her long years of work reflected the steady dedication and strength that marked her life.
On Dec. 10, 1955, she married Harold DeBolt, and they shared many years together until his passing in 2018. Norma was known as a happy, caring and loving woman whose greatest pride was always her family. That love shaped the way she lived and the way she will be remembered.
She found joy in simple and familiar pleasures. Norma loved all animals, especially horses. She also enjoyed watching television, particularly her soaps and game shows, and was a huge fan of Billy Ray Cyrus. These interests brought her comfort and happiness and will remain part of the many memories held by those who knew her.
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Tammy (Danny) Shoopman; granddaughters, Tabitha (Travis) McCoy and Stacy (Richard) Shery; great-grandchildren: Jo Anna (Garrett) Weldy, Travis (Annie) McCoy, Abbylene McCoy, Jessica McCoy and Kaden Shery; and great-great-grandchildren, Ryker Travis and Wyatt Luke McCoy. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, Harold; great-granddaughter, Mackenzie Yvonne McCoy; brothers, Harold and Larry Stabler; sister-in-law, Bess Stabler; and nephew, Jason Stabler.
Friends and family may gather for visitation on Thursday, Oct. 15 from 10 a.m. until noon with the funeral service beginning at noon at Titus Funeral Home of Syracuse, 1001 S. Huntington St., Syracuse. She will be laid to rest beside her husband at Oak Park Cemetery in Ligonier.
