Dixie Lee Sperry Norman, age 85, went to be with her Lord and Savior on the night of November 8, 2026. Dixie was the daughter of Sereno Burrell Sperry and Gladys Myrtle Kayes. She graduated at the top of her class and was a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). She served alongside her husband and lifelong love, Rev. Lee Norman, as a pastor’s wife for more than 60 years. Over time, Dixie was known by many names and titles: wife, Momma, Grandma, & “Momma Bear”. To many others, she was simply a mother to the world.
Throughout her life, Dixie devoted herself to serving her community and church. Traveling across several states, including Oklahoma, Texas, and Wisconsin, she faithfully supported her husband through decades of ministry. She is survived by her children: Deborah Chambers, Lee Norman Jr., Darryl Norman, Cyndi Turner, and Lisa Norman - as well as 18 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her siblings Jack Sperry and Glennie Corwin – and by her soulmate, Rev. Lee Norman. Just one month after the passing of her true love, Dixie left this earth to be reunited with him in heaven.
She will be honored at Bill Eisenhour Funeral Home, 8805 NE 23rd Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73141, with visitation on November 14, 2026, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm, followed by the funeral service at 4:00 pm.
