Norma Jean Stewart

Norma Jean Stewart, age 67, of Idabel passed away on June 23, 2016 at McCurtain Memorial Hospital. She was born March 1, 1949, in DeRidder, LA to Albert McGlothen and Martha Burby.

She was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses on February 19, 1972.

Norma found delight in shopping at Walmart, gardening, and caring for her roses. But most of all, she lived for her God, loved her daughters and cherished her granddaughter. She was kind, generous, self-sacrificing, and set an example of loyalty to Jehovah.

Norma was preceded in death by her two oldest daughters (Sonja Michelle and Savanah Raquel Stewart), her Brothers, Terrance Burkley (Terry) and Walter Burby, Jr. (Junior).
