Upon graduation, she took a job as a comptometer operator for Langendorf Bread Company. In 1957, she met the love of her life, Joseph Mifsud at a Young Catholics Association dance and they began an exceptionally loving and devoted relationship that lasted through 45 years of marriage.

More than anything else, Norma loved to spend time with her children and their families and took great enjoyment in celebrating birthdays, holidays, first Holy Communions and other activities and events with her 17 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Kenneth Angelo Mifsud J.D. was mentioned in the San Francisco Chronicle on 6 April 1995: Mom Guilty of 2nd-Degree Murder of Twins - Oakland - 23-day-old babies were suffocated By Tara Shioya Chronicle East Day Bureau
An Oakland mother accused of suffocating her twin babies because she “couldn't take the pressure anymore“ of looking after them was found guilty of second- degree murder yesterday. As the Alameda County Superior Court clerk read the verdict, 26- year-old Traci Foskett sobbed into a blue handkerchief, her face
flushed and streaked with tears. Several jurors wept also. Tho jury took a painstaking five days of deliberations to find Foskett guilt/ on two counts of murder in tta 1992 deaths of her twins, 23-dayold Andrea and Antoine Yearby.
Foskett's public defender, Don Greenberg, argued that because she is brain-damaged, police manipulated her into confessing to what was actually an unfortunate case of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, a condition in which infants mysteriously stop breathing. She could face 15 years to life in prison on each count when she is sentenced at a yet-to-be determined date by Judge Alfred Deluc- chi, who presided over the trial. Alameda County Deputy District Attorney Ken Mifsud had asked thp jury to find Foskett guilty of first-degree murder with special circumstances, which would have meant a life sentence without possibility of parole. Still, Mifsud said he is satisfied. ‘This was a very tough case," he said. “This was as emotional a case as you could get. The jury did the right thing.”
Foskett’s public defender, Don Greenberg, sent colleague Susan Sawyer in his place yesterday, as he was unable to appear in court. Sawyer could not comment on tte case but said Greenberg may file a motion for a new trial.
In a taped confession one day after the twins’ deaths in January 1992, Foskett told Oakland police she killed the twins. As Mifsud replayed the tape during the three- week trial’s closing arguments, Foskett’s shoulders shook as she sobbed and wiped her eyes.
“I was frustrated,” she said on the tape. “I couldn’t take the pressure anymore — changing them, being there by myself with them, having to listen to them cry.”
Foskett moved the babies from her bedroom to another room because they were crying. Then she covered them with a quilt, she said, hoping they would suffocate, and left.
Later, when Foskett saw the babies were still alive, she drew the blanket up over their heads. She placed onehand on each child and pushed down with all the weight of her 210-pound body, counting down slowly from 50 to 1 before letting go, according to the confession. She checked that the twins breathing had stopped, then went back to her bedroom and watched television. Then she went to sleep. The next morning, Andrew Yearby — Foslett’s boyfriend and the babies’ father — discovered the twins, blue-faced and motionless. He called 911. Foskett confessed to police the next day, saying she first lied to authorities because she had hoped the deaths would look like sudden infant death syndrome. She later recanted and vent back to the syndrome explanation.
Greenberg said that because his client was hit by a bus at age fi, she has significant brain damage and an IQ of 83 — an impairment that helped police extract a “coerced, compliant confession.” Yesterday’s conviction is the latest of several incidents involving Foskett and her children. When the twins died, Foskett was on probation for having broken the leg of her then 9-month-old daughter, who was later placed with Foskett’s mother. Foskett had an earlier set of twin daughters in 1990, one of whom died apparently of SIDS when she was 4 months old. The surviving twin was placed in another relative’s care. He was living in 2020.
