HUDSON FALLS – Norman E. Trombley, 89, passed away on Monday, December 7, 2020, at Glens Falls Hospital following months of declining health.
Norm was born in the town of Fort Edward, NY on October 14, 1931, the son of Floyd and Daisy (Joiner) Trombley.
He attended Hudson Falls High School. Following school, Norm joined the Naval reserve in Glens Falls, where he then left to serve in the Navy.
Upon his return to civilian life, Norm loved to hunt and fish throughout the Adirondacks. Norm was a carpenter by trade and later became the HUD director for the village of Corinth, where he oversaw the home revitalization and winterization programs. He took much pride in helping others through this agency’s programs. Later, Norm started a small engine repair shop where he repaired lawnmowers and snowblowers until his health would no longer allow him to continue.
On February 8, 1996, Norm married Lillian Montgomery Moorman in Hudson Falls, where they resided until her passing on November 6, 2002.
Besides his parents, Norm was predeceased in death by his wife Lillian, a son, Timothy Trombley, a sister, Jean Walsh and brother-in-law, Allyn Walsh.
Norm is survived by a daughter, Christine Trombley of Overton, NV; his brother, William (Bonnie) Trombley of Queensbury; along with several nieces, nephews and cousins.
Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, at this time there will be no calling hours.
There will be a graveside service in the Spring at Union Cemetery in Fort Edward.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Carleton Funeral Home, Inc, 68 Main Street in Hudson Falls.

Carl and I are sorry to hear of the passing of your brother, Norm. I can see from other’s notes that Norm was very kind. It clearly is a family trait because you, Bill, were very kind to him over the years with his many disabilities. May he rest in peace.
Billy and Bonnie, I appreciate this chance to reach out to you in family love. My mind has been full of family memories since hearing of Norm’s passing. As a teen, I seem to regard upper Burgoyne Av. as primarily Trombley territory: Uncle Floyd, Aunt Daisey, Norm, Jeanie, yourself, Billy, Gramp, Uncle Ed, Aunt Myrtle, Leon, Susan, and Linda….a little colony of Trombleys! And, Mom, Reitha Trombley Bruce, down the road a bit from you was ever mindful of her brothers and their families who she loved deeply. So, Billie, I value our our connection still, and send heartful sympathy to you today. Ruthie, Betty and Cliff think of you too, especially now.
