Norma J. Richardson

Norma attended Whitesburg Elementary School and graduated from Morristown High School in 1955. She retired as a church secretary from Manley Baptist Church. Norma had a servant’s heart and profound love for others. This was evident throughout her life, but especially as she served for 40 years as a volunteer at Morristown Hamblen Hospital.

Norma’s true legacy lies in her love for her family. Most importantly, to the love of her life, Bill Richardson. Together, they shared a beautiful marriage that lasted 54 sweet years. Norma was known for her love of the Lord, and her life was a genuine reflection of her faith. Norma found joy in reading, attending bible study, and time with “the Fun Girls”. Her greatest joy was spending time with her great-grandchildren, whom she cherished immensely. She was a faithful member of First Baptist Church, Morristown.

Norma is preceded in death by her husband, Bill Richardson, and her parents Maynard and Agnes Clemmons, her brother Richard “Dickie” Clemmons, her daughter-in-law, Cathy Richardson, and her grandson Luke Miller.
