Known by her family and close friends as “The General” as she was “in charge”. Norma Jean was a great cook/baker and always was willing to provide for family and church get-togethers, or to anyone who was in need.
She loved God’s creations, especially flowers and trees.
She and Chuck moved back to her beloved family farm near Meeker in 2001 to take care of the homestead and fulfill her love of farm living, including lots of plants, flowers and her pet pony Taffy, two pygmy goats, Charlie and Cupcake and her dog, Dallas.
Norma Jean spent the last eight years of her life at Blanchard Place in Kenton. The family would like to thank all the nurses and aides that took such wonderful care of her. She was the life of the party and feisty right until the end. She lived a long, fulfilled and loving life. Her love of life continues on in her entire family.
Services are being planned and will be updated on this page when completed.
