Norma Jeane will be remembered as a very talented painter, pianist, dancer, sculptor and storyteller with a great sense of style and a wonderful sense of humor. She was fortunate enough to meet and marry her soul mate, Chuck, in 1958 in Indianapolis, IN. Jeane and Chuck were both artists and taught their children and grandchildren a deep love for all the arts. She adored her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren over the distance and was very proud of all of them.

Friends and family will gather for a Celebration of Life for Norma Jeane & Chuck that will be held Friday, September 8th, 2023 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM with a Remembrance Service starting at 2:30 PM at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 7750 West Cermak Road, Forest Park, Illinois 60130.
