She is survived by her children Jimmy (Diana), Roger (Clara), Richard (Margaret), and Lisa Dunlap, Betty Bragg (Dale Stewart), Sandy (Ledford) Turley and Donna (Arthur) Wilson; 16 grandchildren, 54 great grandchildren and 6 great great grandchildren.
A graveside service will be held at 4:00 p.m. Monday, May 14, at Lively Cemetery in Sod with Pastor Bub Anderson officiating.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions to Curry Funeral Home for the funeral service.
Thad and Tiphanie and family, I’m so very sorry for your lost, please remember there is nothing so grand as a grandmother’s love. I love you all.
Praying for you during your time of great loss. May God bring peace and comfort during this time.
May fond memories of Norma bring you comfort during this hard time in your life. Look back on all the good memories you were able to have and smile at the fact that you were able to share these. My heart and sympathies go out to you and your family.
Proverbs 10:7 The memory of the righteous one is due for a blessing.”
Something that gives us great comfort is the Bible truth that death is not the dot or period at the end of a sentence, but rather the comma or pause because our dear loved ones will live again. We know that we will see our loved ones again because the beautiful promise recorded at Revelation 21:4 “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” What a truly special day so close at hand to be able to embrace our loved ones again!
Much love from Bella and me. It sounds as if Ms Norma passed her love of teaching and compassion to you, Andrea May she Rest In Peace in the Arms of God ?
Praying for your loss. Norma was a sweet lady. She always made each person feel special.
