Norma Jean Hahn Erbland, 79, passed away December 29, 2021, after a brief illness.

She was born in Canton, Ohio, June 12, 1942, to the late Wayne and Pauline Hahn.

She is survived by her husband David of 55 years; daughter Shelley Erbland Labiosa of Virginia; grandchildren Hannah, Evalyn, Lillian, and Noah, all of Virginia.

After graduating from Timken Vocational High School in 1960, Norma built a successful career as a licensed cosmetologist. The family moved to Wilmington, NC, in 1979, where Norma continued her career without missing a beat, even owning her own salon for a time. Dedicated to and passionate about her clients, Norma was still working part-time keeping the ladies beautiful at Brightmore of Wilmington through August 2021.

Norma is best known for her love of giraffes, shoe-shopping, and relaxing on the beach with friends and family. A proud founding member of Harbor United Methodist Church in Wilmington, she remained actively dedicated in various roles, including choir member, for 25 years.

A memorial service is planned for 2:00 p.m. March 6, 2022, at Harbor United Methodist Church, immediately followed by interment in the church Columbarium.
