Patricia Catherine Norden

Patricia Catherine Norden, 51, passed away peacefully on May 23, 2025, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Her passing leaves an unfillable space in the hearts of her family, friends, colleagues, and all who were lucky enough to know her. Born in Bronxville, NY Tricia and her family moved to Riverdale, NJ, in 1981. Tricia was the beloved daughter of Jean and Stephen Revis, and the devoted sister of Jennifer, John and Victoria. From an early age, she demonstrated grit, grace, and greatness - qualities that would define her throughout her life. A standout athlete at Kinnelon High School, she earned 11 varsity letters in soccer, basketball, and softball, a testament to her fierce determination and team spirit. Tricia went on to study Political Science and Criminal Justice at Rutgers University, where her dream of serving her country took root. Inspired by her grandfather and uncle, both in law enforcement, Tricia pursued a path few dare to follow. She joined the FBI straight out of college and found her second family within its ranks. After years in a supporting role in the Newark field office, she became a Special Agent in 2008, focusing on counter-terrorism. Her work took her across the globe, always with the same commitment to integrity, justice, and service. Tricia was humble, her efforts and assistance epitomized and lived up to her organization's motto, “Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity”. She was a gifted leader, who was trusted, admired, and recently honored with the Public Service Commendation Medal from West Point. In 2013, Tricia married the love of her life, Paul Norden. Their first date—a simple breakfast in Chelsea—turned into an all-day adventure, walking the streets of Lower Manhattan, sharing stories, laughter, and dreams. Paul proposed during a helicopter ride over Niagara Falls, and the two were married on November 9, 2013, celebrating their honeymoon in Hawaii and San Francisco. Together, they built a life full of love, laughter, and travel. Tricia was the proud and loving mother of Gabrielle, who was her heart and joy. Whether it was a sweet sixteen trip to Barcelona, visits to Paris, or raising a toast at Oktoberfest in Germany, Tricia loved showing her daughter the world. Her adventurous spirit, boundless love, and fierce loyalty made her a guiding light to all who knew her. She is survived by her husband, Paul; her daughter, Gabrielle; her stepson, Paul; her parents, Jean and Stephen; her siblings, Jennifer Moran and her husband John, John Revis and his wife Tonya, and Victoria Salge and her husband Shawn; her nephews: John, Steve, Teddy, Darren, Wilson, Wyatt, Cooper, and Griffin; and many loving aunts, uncles and cousins. Tricia was taken far too soon, but she leaves behind a legacy of courage, compassion, and conviction. She lived her life in service—to her country, to her community, and above all, to her family. She truly was, and always will be, Wonder Woman to those who loved her. Visitation will be held Tuesday, May 27 and Wednesday, May 28 from 4-8 pm at Scanlan's. A funeral Mass will be celebrated 10:30 am at Saint Mary’s Church, Pompton Lakes, NJ, Thursday, May 29. A graveside service will follow at Rockland Cemetery, Sparkill, NY.
