On Wednesday, November 2, 2022, our precious mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Norma Jean (Irick) Campbell, was reunited in Heaven with her beloved husband and daughter at the age of 81.

A wonderful and loving Christian lady, Norma was a precious matriarch of her family. She was a true example of a loving and devoted wife and mother to her husband and children. Norma worked tirelessly tending to her home inside and outside and had beautiful rhododendrons in her yard, but moreover she had love in her home. Norma lived in the Buntontown Community of Butler, where she raised her children, until her health declined and she moved to Hudson, N.C., with her oldest daughter. Norma was a staple in her community and will be dearly missed.
Norma retired from Chetola Resort and was a devoted member of Centerview Church of Christ. She loved reading her Bible and going to church both to hear the message of God and to fellowship with her church family and friends.
