NORFOLK, CAROL JANE (NEE SIMON) died on the morning of Thursday, November 24, 2011, at her home in Annapolis, Maryland, after a long illness. A retired realtor, mother, wife and a much-loved grandmother, Carol was born on March 7, 1944, to Kenneth and Jane Simon of Kane, Pennsylvania. She attended nursing school, and in 1966 married William E. Norfolk, with whom she settled in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. The couple had two daughters, Allison, born in 1966, and Stacy, born in 1969. William and Carol divorced in 1991. Carol was a devoted mother who tirelessly supported her daughters in any endeavor they pursued. She was a cheerleading commissioner when they were cheerleaders and a softball coach when they played softball. She worked a part-time job to pay for tennis lessons. When her daughters were grown she became an accomplished realtor thanks to her people skills and her talent for sales. She was such a hands-on nana she even cut the umbilical cord of her first grandchild, Tyler, and derived enormous satisfaction from all six of her grandchildren, to whom she enjoyed reading, talking and teaching how to knit. A patriot and sports fan, Carol rooted for the Penn State Nittany Lions, the Washington Redskins and the Baltimore Ravens. She is mourned by her soulmate and best friend, Jeff Musgrove. Predeceased by her brother, Kenneth, she is survived by her former husband, William, her daughter Allison and her son-in-law Beau, her daughter Stacy and her son-in-law Shaun, and her six grandchildren, Tyler, Madison, Ethan, RJ, William and Christopher. A memorial service will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 28, at Lakemont Memorial Gardens in Davidsonville, Maryland.
