Bullhead City Vice Mayor Norma Brummett dies

Bullhead City Vice Mayor Norma Brummett died Wednesday after a battle with cancer, the city announced. She was 73.

“Norma treated everyone she encountered with exceptional kindness and warmth,” Bullhead City Mayor Steve D’Amico said in a statement announcing her death. “Her presence will be greatly missed in our community and in our council meetings.”

Brummett was first elected to Bullhead City Council in August 2020 after previously serving as a board member of the Bullhead City Fire District. Brummett also spent four years as a Planning and Zoning commissioner and a franchise license commissioner for the city.

Outside of local government, Brummett was heavily involved in the community. She served as secretary for the Colorado River Women’s Council, chairperson for the Colorado River Women’s Council Leadership Program, and secretary for the Colorado River Republican Women.

“The loss of Norma hits the City very hard,” said Bullhead City Manager Toby Cotter. “Not only have we lost an impassioned policymaker, we have lost a cherished friend. Norma’s gentle and positive personality were an absolute treasure to experience.”
