Norma Jean married the love of her life, Larry C. Sharp on October 20, 1981, and they had 37 wonderful years together until his passing in 2017. They worked together on many outdoor projects and always had fun while building things. She loved working in her flower beds and growing yellow and peace roses, her favorites.

Norma Jean will always be remembered as the classiest dressed lady in the room, her impeccable home decorating, wonderful cooking ability and the best mother and daughter could ever be blessed with.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Larry C. Sharp.

She is also survived by her Aunt Verla Lynn (Birdie) and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

Her daughter will always remember the unconditional love, encouragement and pride that her mom had for her and most importantly teaching her about the love of Our Lord, Jesus Christ.
