Norma Jean (Forsythe) Tinker

Norma Jean Tinker, age 92, of West Long Avenue, DuBois, PA, passed away peacefully with family by her side on Sunday March 16, 2025 at the DuBois Nursing Home.  A daughter of the late George and Kathryn (Webber) Forsythe, she was born on July 21, 1932 in Tyler, PA.  On October 15, 1954 she married Benjamin Tinker who predeceased her on January 30, 2008.

Norma’s life was filled with love, service, and dedication to her family and church. She was raised in Tyler and has lived in North Tonawanda, Weedville, Sabula and most recently DuBois.  She was a devoted member of the Weedville Wesleyan church. Norma has served

faithfully through the years in many different ways. She was known for the first donation to kick off the original building fund for the Weedville Wesleyan Church. She was always available to anyone who wanted or needed someone to talk with and was a friend to everyone who ever met her. Her warmth, generosity and dedication will be deeply missed by all who knew her. 

Besides her parents and her husband, Norma was predeceased by a son Thomas F Tinker, a granddaughter Stefanie Tinker, two brothers, James and George, Jr.; and a sister, JoAnn Klaiber.

Norma is survived by: three children, Sharon (Wesley) Voigt of DuBois, Gail Davis of DuBois and Dave Tinker of Brookville; four grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and a sister, Patty Stelene.

A private service will be held at the church with Pastor Bryon Kleppinger officiating. 

Interment will take place in the Morningside Cemetery of DuBois.

Rest in peace until we see you again in heaven.  

The family suggests memorial contributions may be made in Norma’s name to the Weedville Wesleyan Church and will be accepting online condolences at the Ralph M. Geer Funeral Home website (www.nedzafamilyfuneralhomes.com).
