Norma Jean Delcher, 74, of Apopka, Florida, passed away June 26, 2019. She was born August 27, 1944 in Rushville, Indiana.
She was a woman of many talents. She was a gifted artist, a published poet and loved to paint and draw. She was an amazing singer/songwriter, played the guitar and accordion, worked as a singer in her 20’s and 30’s and shared her love of music with her children and family. She was a great seamstress and made beautiful clothes and crocheted creations. She was also a fabulous cook and loved to host family holiday dinners.
She was saved as a child, loved the Lord and made sure that her children knew Him.
She was devoted to her family. She said her greatest job was being a Mom. She loved being a daughter, a mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother, a sister, an aunt and a friend. Her children tell us that they are who they are because of their Mom. If you met Norma, she was sure to tell you about her children and grandchildren. She was so proud of them.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Homer and Martha Hatfield, siblings Charlie O’Dell, Hazel Kennedy, Bill Hatfield, Vertie Cowan, Geneva Perkins, Dottie Atkinson and Ernie Hatfield, and her husband Jim Delcher, Jr. She is survived by her seven children Carmen (Kevin) Clark, Susan (Leon) Kitts, Nancy Chase, Cindy (Jeff) Haynes, Janey (Ricky) Briggs, Eric (Kim) Chase and Trevor (Susannah) Chase, 15 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, extended family members and friends.
Many people have told Norma that she was blessed to have such wonderful, supportive children, but if you ask them, they will tell you that they were blessed to have Norma for their Mom. Her family is thankful to have so many wonderful memories with Norma. She will be missed by her family and friends. God called Norma home on Wednesday, June 26, 2019.
