Amy Jean Norton

On January 9th, 1928, Roscoe Conklin Hallows and Addie Mae (Kilgore) Hallows welcomed Amy Jean (Hallows) Norton into the world. She was born on a farm in Farris, Oklahoma in Atoka County. She married Richard Norton and together they had two beautiful children Tom Norton and Robin (Norton) Morris. For most of her life Amy was a stay at home mom most of her life. The Norton family developed a long lasting relationship with the Mussatto family that lived down the street. She started babysitting for their son Tony often and eventually started working at the Mussatto’s business, Pet Vet. She started off working a few hours a week and grew to become the heart and soul of the business. When Joe Mussatto turned the business over to his son Tony she continued to help him run it. Amy was an amazing woman who loved to laugh and loved her family. Amy entered her heavenly home on February 16th, 2016, in Midwest City, Oklahoma.

Amy Norton leaves behind her son Tom Norton and his wife Alice Norton, daughter, Robin Morris and her husband Dirk Morris, four grandchildren and two great grandchildren as well as many loving family members and friends.
