The kind-hearted, gentle soul of Norma Jean Cannon 61, of Keene, NH and a former longtime resident of Sullivan, NH, will be greatly missed with her passing on June 3, 2020, at the Cheshire Medical Center, Dartmouth Hitchcock, Keene.
Her parents, Norman H. and Bernice E. (Heath) Cannon, welcomed their daughter into the world on December 18, 1958, in Keene, NH. She grew up in Sullivan and was a graduate of Monadnock Regional High School in Swanzy, NH.
Norma Jean worked for over twenty years as a licensed practical nurse with Home Healthcare Hospice and Community Services, a career she truly loved. Always having a special place in her heart for others, Norma Jean helped to raise and care for many of her family members as if they were her own children. If you needed anything at all, you could always reach out to her and she would be there for you with open arms and a kind heart.
She will be greatly missed by many, especially her two daughters, Jamie R. Cannon, of Keene and Angel Lynn Rollins Cannon, of Greenfield, NH; her brothers, Kenneth R. Heath of Sullivan, Matthew D. Cannon, of Winchester, NH, Andrew J. Cannon; her sisters, Sandra G. Sandberg, of Keene, Lillian L. Hodge of Winchester; Debra and Dawn; three special people whom she raised as if they were her own children, Kimberlee Leber, Kayla Lynn Leber and Joseph Ryan Russell; and many nieces, nephews and extended family members.
Services and burial in the Centennial Cemetery, Gilsum, will be private.
For those who wish, donations may be made in Norma Jean’s memory to Home Healthcare Hospice and Community Services, PO Box 564, Keene, NH 03431.
