It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Norma Jean O'Brien passed away peacefully at her home in Ventura, CA on Monday, April 10, 2023, at the age of 88.
Born in a farmhouse on June 9, 1934 in Wright, KS, Norma was one of twelve children. Norma grew up on a farm in Kansas, with her siblings and parents. Norma played basketball, tennis and softball in high school and in community leagues from 1952-1954. She married John W. Weeks in 1954 and they had 5 children. In 1963 Norma moved to California with her first husband, John and their three daughters, Kathy, Karen and Kristi. In August of 1964, Norma gave birth to twin boys, Kyle and Kevin. Norma went on to become a school teacher and then a home health aide. In 1983 Norma married Alvin F. O'Brien; they were married until Alvin passed in 1998.
Norma was preceded in death by her mother and father, Mike and Nellie Downey, 10 of her siblings and her husbands.
Norma is survived by a sister, Kathleen Konda, her children, Kathy (Jim), Karen (Ron), Kristi (Jim), Kyle (Leslie) and Kevin (Pat), her grandchildren, Tammy, James J, Cindy, Landa, Lance, Chris, Julie Anne, Michelle, Julie Marie, Nicki, James H, Melissa, Michael, Kylie, 36 great grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren and many other family members near and far.
Norma's greatest joy was when she had a house full of family. We all have cherished memories of spending many holidays and family gatherings together at Norma's house. We will all miss her dearly.
We would like to send our thanks to the nurses and other staff of Access TLC for their support of our family during the time Norma was at home in hospice care.
Her ashes will be placed in the Garden of Reflection at Ivy Lawn Cemetery in Ventura, CA on April 24, 2023 at 11:00 am. Lunch will follow at her home.
