Norma Jean Stinson

Norma Jean May Stinson, 86, of Madison Heights passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at Runk & Pratt, Liberty Ridge. She was born on December 1, 1938, in Lynchburg, the daughter of the late Joseph Herbert May and Alma Christine Dillon May.

Norma was the proud and loving matriarch of her family, a role she embraced with grace and unwavering dedication. She selflessly cared for those she loved, always putting her family first. Nothing brought her more joy than spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren — watching them grow, supporting them through life’s moments, and serving them with a heart full of love.

Norma also enjoyed traveling to her timeshares, creating lasting memories on those getaways with her family by her side. She was a devoted member of Union Christian Church, where she found joy in serving her church family with the same warmth and commitment she gave at home. Above all, Norma was a family woman through and through. The time she spent with her loved ones was her greatest treasure, and the love she gave will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

In addition to her parents Norma was preceded in passing by her loving husband of 68 years Wyatt Stinson; her siblings Marvin B. May, Peggy M. Gear, Carol M. Copenhaver, Bettie M. Sutton; her brother-in-law Doug Stinson; her daughter-in-law Debbie Stinson; and her grandson Colton Stinson.

Norma is survived by her children Terrell Stinson (Teresa), Pamela Boydoh (Mitchell); three grandchildren Andrew Boydoh (Bella), Brandon Stinson (Anna), Paul Boydoh (Tiffany); four great-grandchildren Beckham Boydoh, Emma Boydoh, Maisie Stinson, Lena Boydoh; her sister-in-laws Fay May, Pat Stinson; her brother-in-laws Phillip Kidd (Dixie), Richard Copenhaver; and is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

A celebration of Norma’s life will be held at 11:00am on Monday, July 21, 2025, at Whitten Monelison Chapel, with Tommy Singleton officiating the service. Interment will follow at Fort Hill Memorial Park. The family will receive friends for an hour prior to the service.

Norma’s legacy of family values, love and dedication will live on through her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

The celebration of Norma’s life will continue with family and friends at Pam Boydoh’s residence after services.
