Aunt Norma was always welcoming any and all visitors to her family home. Richard and Maxine Skaggs were my parents and we would go to Norma and Jerry’s home to visit. Brenda and Patti were my age so we played together while our parents visited. Norma always smiled and laughed while fixing us kool aid to drink. I was her pen pal for many years in the 1960’s. She was always the one who made you feel at home. I’ll miss her sweet smile. Diana Skaggs Sullivan.

Aunt Norma and Uncle Jerry were my two favorite family members. I just loved spending a few summers with them and Brenda and Patty. I especially loved Norma’s home made iced tea and pies. You will be sadly missed. Love, Theresa Skaggs

She was one of the 2 best mamaws around!! I'm so glad I got to spend the last 9 months of her life taking care of her and putting her to bed every single night! We became so close. I feel she waited on me and kendyl to go home to heaven. Almost all the immediate family was there except us. We showed up, I told her we were there and it was ok. She passed about 5 mins later. I cant wait to see you again mamaw!! We love and miss you so much!! Bailey, Craig, Kendyl, Addie, Sasha

Norma Jean Skaggs was one of the most sweetest women I have ever known. She was always so welcoming making me feel at home and so attentive. I loved to gross her out and make her gag. I would laugh soooo hard. I loved how she spread her arm out when she seen something scarey or suspensful on TV with that face of hers she made. She was a great cook and a great friend. She always considered me family up to the end. I will always love her and look forward to being with her again one day in heaven. I feel privileged to have had 2 of her wonderful grandchildren Kayla Marie Skaggs and Jonathan Thomas Skaggs. She lives on in them. Until we meet again........
