Norma Jean Burrell

14, 1943 in Livingston, Texas to the late Elisha W.

Williams and Juanita Barnett Williams as the second

child of ten siblings. She led a full and vibrant life as

a wife to Cleveland Burrell, mother to Stacie Burrell

Jones, a brother to Lester Williams that she called son

and to others who called her mom, aunt, friend and

a child of God. She attended and praised the Lord at

the New Mount Calvery Baptist Church.

Norma was a woman of excellence that accomplished

her educational goals in numerous disciplines and

performed successfully in her various careers. She

enjoyed reading, working online word puzzles, pulling

the one arm bandits and dancing with her loving

husband.

When Norma and Cleveland danced, they glided and

turned so smooth as if there was not floor beneath

their feet for over fifty years.

She loved many and was loved by many. Her legacy

of love will live on in the hearts of those she knew and

loved and will continue from generation to generation.

She was preceded in death by her sisters Ruby and

Gwen and brothers Curtis, Cleophus, Robert and

Kelvin.

Her passing brought sadness to the hearts of all who

loved her. She leaves to cherish her memory: husband

Cleveland Burrell, daughter Stacie Jones (Dexter),

brother/son Lester Williams (Darlene), Elisha Williams

Jr. (Joyce) and Rodney Williams (Cheryl) godchildren:

Christy Scott, Tyler Allen and god grandchildren Ariah

Hall and Tylan Sheilds and a host of nieces’ nephews,

cousins, relatives and friends.
