Norma Jean Blanchard

She was preceded in death by her parents, Laverne and Thomas Whitlow, her husband, Richard L. Blanchard (Dick). She is survived by her 3 children, Kaye Horn, Bill Brand (Kim), and Jeff Brand. Additionally, Norma is survived by 3 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren. She leaves behind a host of dear friends who enriched her life both professionally and personally. She will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her.

Norma was born in Mayfield KY on May 7, 1935. She was a curator of and for antiques and classic art. When she and Dick located to Montgomery in 1977, her forte for knowing priceless antiques and art became her “trademark” and her joy. She worked, which, if you’d ask her, was never work in the sense of the word, for many years for Michael Respess Estate Sales She was well known and her knowledge valued and sought after in this business. Norma was unique in every way possible. Her memory will live on through her children, grandchildren and all who were fortunate enough to know her.

A Celebration of the Life of Norma J. Blanchard will be held at a later date.
