Norma "Nonny" Johnson

January 30, 1925 ~ December 11, 2021
“The time has come,
the walrus said”,
for us to celebrate
almost 97 years
and they were pretty great.
I was born Norma Gene
but Nonny was my name
Gin, Bridge and Crosswords
were always my game.
Craig Allen was the first,
The big brother he would be,
Christy Anne soon to follow
But, more fun in three?
These two said,
“OH NO” to a pair,
Next thing you know…
Here comes Cassandra Clair.
Three kids in total, wow such a burst
had I’d known how much fun
a granddaughter would be,
I would have had her first.
With Don at her hand
together making a band
Keaton, Brecken and Croix
brought me so much joy
In 96 plus years I’ve seen some crazy times
the depression, war and some mafia crimes.
Wednesday was hair day
My red hair divine
eyelashes on point
Then a drink of wine
My advice to you
try not to worry
Covid, money, life
it goes by in a hurry.
Live each day to the fullest
love with all your heart
have faith in the lord to truly never part.
Please no sadness,
have faith I am home
God is good, I will never be alone.
Don’t be down in your HEARTY
I sure had fun at your PARTY!

We went thru three houses together. Always roses or plants. Every week for 40 years,we had together. I will miss our time together. We were a good team. Love you
Oh my the poem! I just love it! Tears! ❤️
I did not have the pleasure of knowing Norma, and her self penned memorial speaks of a long and loving life well lived. A loving soul that will be dearly missed, and lovingly remembered. Godspeed Norma.
I was Nonny’s tax advisor for many years and we had many great conversations. I will always remember her feisty attitude and her great love for her granddaughter. Love the poem, a very nice touch.
