WEST PLAINS [mdash] Norma Jean Hathcock, 92, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully in her home in West Plains, Missouri, on April 5, 2025. She was born on December 25, 1932, in Hulbert, Oklahoma. After receiving her Bachelor's Degree from Northeastern State College in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, Norma and Roy (her husband of 53 years) made their home in West Plains, Missouri, dedicating their lives to teaching school and raising their two children, Bryce and Marisa. Norma enjoyed a 35-year teaching career with the West Plains school district. Loved ones who previously passed, namely her parents, sisters, husband and both of her children, surely enjoyed a sweet reunion. She will be lovingly remembered and missed by her family, friends, and the community she served. She will be laid to rest alongside her husband and daughter at the I.O.O.F. Cemetery in Hulbert, Oklahoma on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 at 1:00pm.
