Norma loved her church and church family tremendously. Second Baptist Church, Charlestown was her favorite place to be. She joined at an early age and served as the President of the Usher Board and trustee of the church for many years. She was very serious about the work she did for the Lord, and always served with a genuine smile and friendly spirit.

Norma loved to shop, be around her family, cook delicious food for the holidays and talk on the phone to her best friend, Betty Buckner everyday, who later in life became her neighbor too. They were like sisters and family. At 4 pm she had to always be available to watch her stories, 'Young and the Restless' was her favorite weekday tv entertainment. But most of all she loved her family., she enjoyed spending quality time or talking to them on the phone. They made her life complete and whole, she loved them with all of her heart.

She leaves behind her children, Gary, Donnie, Deborah, Roger (Mina), and Larry Rhodes, she cared so much for them than they probably realize. Norma was a devoted grandmother to Ericka, Ashley, Zachary, Trinity, Jamal, Shanda, Kayla, and also her 7 great-grandchildren; and one sibling, her loving brother, Robert Cobb.

Norma's true joy came from her family and friends, but especially God. She is now resting in the arms of the Lord.
