Norma was a homemaker who enjoyed being home with her two children, Jerry D. & Jeannie Marlene. She was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary Post 32, receiving recognition as a Chaplain. She also enjoyed dancing, entertaining, cooking, baking, and cake decorating. Norma was overjoyed with the birth of each of her children and grandchildren, her children's baptisms, and graduating from high school with her GED. Norma loved hearing and telling jokes, and feeding her friends and family. She also loved to listen to gospel & country music, She would practice yodeling & would dance to any music. Her record collection was extensive. Anytime she was in Nashville, a visit to Ernest Tubb's music store was top on her list of things to do. Country & gospel music played a huge role in her life. Ray and Norma Jean enjoyed occasional trips to Las Vegas, to play the slots; Lady Luck was their favorite casino. While there, they'd visit her cousin, a long-time resident of Vegas. She was a kind, loving lady but was also full of personal pridefulness. Norma Jean was a beautiful, spiritual, and vivacious lady who will be greatly missed.

Norma was preceded in death by her loving husband Ray, her parents Clyde & Lela Phillips, and by her 9 siblings; Richard, Annie, James, Dixie, Johnny, Edward, Mary, Joe, and Elma. It's wonderful knowing someone is there, Someone to talk to, someone to care, Someone who always knows just what to do. . . It's always been wonderful knowing there's you. It's wonderful having someone who gives Something worthwhile to each day that she lives, Someone whose thoughtfulness always shows through. . . It's always been wonderful, Mom, having you.
