I am so sorry for the loss of Norma Jean. I remember all the times she and her family came to visit my family. My mother, Josephine Hawks Dills, was her aunt. Prayers for healing for all the family.

My Aunt Norma was a special lady. She’ll be greatly missed. She was my mother’s sister, Geneva (Hawks) Harrah, and only 21 months younger than my mom.
In Chicago, she would give me hair cuts as a young boy and then she gave me my first job when I was 13 bussing tables. I got to work with her, my mom, my siblings and my cousins serving tables at banquets. She moved away from Chicago and then I moved away but we’d still talk regularly and visit occasionally over the next several decades.
While my family was vacationing in Yellowstone, Auntie Norma, Robin, Earle and Vicki drove down to visit and that was an awesome time with wonderful memories. We are so thankful for all the great times we had with her.
To my cousins Robin (& Earle), Scott and Vicki, we send our healing prayers and comforting hugs.
Love Keith, Eva, Lauren, Daniel and Rachel

Norma was my dads sister. She was a loving sweet lady who lived life with spunk, hard work and humor. I loved her very much. When I saw her we would always be kind of ‘partners in crime’’ joking and laughing all
the way. Lol. She was always sweet to me and we always had fun. The celebration of her life was absolutely beautiful! The music was touching. I will miss her but one day we will meet again. Love you all. ❤️🌺🌸🌻
