Norma J. Craig, 92, of Norman, passed away surrounded by her family Thursday, Sep. 11, 2014. She was born Nov. 22, 1921, in Eagletown, to Johnnie and Ethel (Carter) Brummett.
Norma married Harold on Feb. 23, 1952, in Oklahoma City, and they raised four children, Cheryl, Bill, Terri and Bob.
Norma grew up in southeastern Oklahoma and was inspired by her father telling her "there was nothing she could not do." With her incredible work ethic she earned a degree from the University of Oklahoma in 1944 and had a long career as a registered dietician. She created new programs that targeted the health of women and children in rural Oklahoma and served as president of the Oklahoma State Dietetic Association. She made a difference in the lives of thousands throughout her career.
She had a curious mind and was always reading and trying to learn new things and keep abreast of current events. She looked forward to working in her vegetable garden and loved nature. She enjoyed music, especially by her favorite artist, Nat King Cole. Most of all she enjoyed spending time with her family, who always felt loved.
She was preceded in death by her parents and two brothers, Warland and Vandon.
Norma is survived by her husband of 62 years, Harold Craig; daughter, Cheryl Hambleton and husband Dave of Iowa; son, Bill Craig and wife Nancy of Norman; daughter, Terri Craig and husband Ben Odom of Norman; son, Bob Craig and wife Robi of Norman; 10 grandchildren, Ryan, Josh, Jenny, Joe, Sam, Tom, Amy, Claire, Cameron and Carter; and 14 great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will bet 10 a.m. Monday at Havenbrook Funeral Home chapel with interment following at IOOF Cemetery in Norman.
