A Celebration of Life service for Norma Eckard will take place on Saturday October 17th at 1:00 PM at the Unitarian Universalists of Southern Delaware, 30486 Lewes Georgetown Highway, Lewes, DE 19958.
Norma was actively involved with Sussex Pride and worked in coalition with organizations including Speak Out Against Hate (SOAH), Bulletproof Pride, Indivisible, and the Working Families Party, focusing on anti-hate advocacy, community safety, and LGBTQIA+ visibility. She is the founder of PRIDE 365, a grassroots LGBTQIA+ advocacy organization established in Texas, and a co-founder of Trans Fam, a support network dedicated to uplifting and protecting transgender individuals and their families. She was the featured speaker at last year’s Butterfly Bolt, an event held by What is Your Voice, Inc., and spoke powerfully about domestic violence.
Norma was the Congregational Administrator at UUSD Unitarian Universalists of Southern Delaware where she also served on the Social & Environmental Justice Committee and the Welcome Committee, helping build inclusive, justice-centered spaces rooted in care, belonging, and collective responsibility.
Many also know Norma as a parent to Vienna Cavazos and we could not imagine there being a more loving or supportive parent
