Norma A. (Tiberio) Masi

86, of North Providence, passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 14, 2020.  She spent her final days in the comfort of her home surrounded by her loving family.

Norma was born and raised in Providence, R.I. and resided in North Providence since 1965.  She was the only child and loving daughter of Philip and Antonetta (Ricci) Tiberio. She grew up among a very large number of beloved aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Norma leaves behind her loving husband Ernest J.

She was a faithful and devoted daughter, wife, mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother.  Norma lived her life in commitment to family and was selflessly focused on everyone around her.  She lived by example in promoting her signature values of commitment, hard work, education, Catholic faith, and kindness. Her life-long friends and extended family will miss her thoughtful disposition.

Norma is survived by her five loving children whom she loved dearly and was so proud of, Susan K. Votolato and her husband Alfred of Smithfield; Laurie A. Villucci and her husband Robert of North Providence; Robert J. Masi and his wife Melissa of Chatham, MA.; Doreen J. Bolster and her husband Jon of North Kingstown; and James W. Masi and his wife Juli of Middleboro, MA.
