Norma Lee and her family would like to thank her Benefits of Home team, Cedanor, Cheryl, Jenny, Linda, Ruth and Felisha for their friendship and ability to make her favorite cocktail, a snort! She passes warm wishes to her hair dressers, Kelsey, and most of all to her dear friend and helper, Necole Boolin.

Norma Lee and George loved parties and always wanted to attend their own funerals. In 2008, the couple hosted an appreciation party so that they could thank all of their friends and family who had helped make their lives so wonderful. Norma Lee asks that you please say a prayer for her and remember a happy time that you shared. If you would like to make a donation in her honor, she asks that you do so to the charity of your choice.
