1937-2026
Norma Cummings, 88, of Bellefontaine, passed away Friday, January 9th, 2026, at Campbell Place in Bellefontaine.
Norma was born July 6, 1937, in Clermont County, OH, to the late Omer and Erma Belle (Liming) Watson. She had 7 siblings who have all preceded her in death. On December 31, 1955, in Kenton, OH, she married Robert L. Cummings Sr., who preceded her in death.; loving companion, Fred W. Endsley.
On Dec. 31, 1955, she married Robert Cummings of Kenton, and they enjoyed a full and joyous life together for 45 years before he passed away in 2001. Norma was fortunate to find love and companionship again for another happy 18 years with Fred Ensley, who preceded her in death in 2022.
For 16 years, Norma worked at Associates Financial Services in Bellefontaine before taking her most beloved position in the community as a friendly and warm bank teller at Huntington National Bank for 21 years. She took great pride in serving her community in this role, always greeting her regular visitors with a smile and a chat. Norma was also a proud member of the Harold Kerr Post 173, American Legion in Bellefontaine.
Her family was Norma’s heart and soul. She greatly enjoyed hosting family gatherings with Robert and always did her best to cater to the needs of others. In her retirement, she enjoyed learning to square dance with Fred. Anyone who knows Norma also knows her favorite pastime was watching the squirrels and redbirds in her backyard. She took special care of those animal visitors as well as the three dachshunds she had over the years with Robert.
For the last 4 years, Norma resided at Campbell Place in Bellefontaine. Her family would like to recognize and thank the Campbell Place staff and Interim Hospice care team that provided Norma with quality care, attention, and thoughtful well-being throughout the entirety of her time with them.
She is survived by one son, Robert (Karol) Cummings Jr. of Belle Center; two grandchildren, Jeff (Monica) Webb of Grand Rapids, MI, and Molly (Mark) Amidon of Bellefontaine; two great-grandchildren, Blythe and Eve Webb, and several nieces and nephews.
