Norma was such a sweet person and always offered me wonderful advice! She was such a wise woman! She was like my second mom in the workplace. She took me under her wing when I first started at the Arkansas Dept. of Health. She also gave great massages! I always loved it when she offered to “work on my shoulders and neck”. I always enjoyed our phone conversations. I’m sad that she is gone. She will be greatly missed.
Your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Keevin, I am so sorry to hear about your sweet mom. She was loved by so many who worked at the health department. She was always there for advice and her knowledge of records and clerical issues was like no other. The last time I talked to her she was very appreciative of all you and Brenda did to make her life easier. Thank you. May she rest in peace.

Norma was a very Special Lady. I am honored to have known her. She knew her job like a book. She was the most knowledgeable lady around. She always had a smile and she was one of a kind. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. If you ever met her you loved her. That is just the type of person she was. God Bless you all. RIP Norma.

During Bill Clinton’s first presidential campaign, our son was one of many working in what was called “The War Room” in Little Rock. Long hours of work were required. I don’t know if Norma visited the War Room more than once or not, but I remember our son being so impressed with her coming and giving neck and shoulder massages to everyone.

She was a great cousin whose demeanor reminded me of both my Uncle Will and Aunt Lottie, her parents. I’ll miss Norma Lee.
