Norma Jean Smith Obituary

The passing of Norma Jean Smith in Thornton, Texas leaves a void in the hearts of many, as we bid farewell to a loving soul who departed on December 23, 2025 at the age of 78. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid adieu to Norma's earthly form, let us not dwell on the void left in her wake, but rather celebrate the legacy of love and inspiration Norma has bequeathed us. For though she may have departed from our sight, her spirit remains a timeless beacon, guiding loved ones through the labyrinth of life's journey.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to The Alzheimer's Association.
