Norma Sue Mayden- Henderson of Carrollton, and formerly of Lexington, Missouri and Wichita, Kansas, passed away peacefully on Thursday morning at 1:45 a.m., February 15, 2018, with her loving niece, Debbie Bennett by her side in the Lamoni Specialty Care center in Lamoni, Iowa.
Norma lived graciously and was granted an earthly life of, 87 years, 10 months, and 11 days.
It was on April 4, 1930, in Carroll County, Missouri, that the Lord blessed the home of Joseph Linnie and Emma Julia (Jones) Mayden with the gift of a daughter and they named her Norma Sue. She was the sixth child born of ten children to the Mayden home. Growing up in Wakenda with many siblings brought about many adventures and mischief, but they each had a role in the household and were made responsible with their chores. They were taught the importance of utilizing what was available in the home and passing down clothing or refurbishing to make anew. They soon became educated in the home gardening and the methods of canning the vegetables to get them through the winter months. Norma graduated from Carrollton High School with the class of 1948. She was a sophomore, aged 16, when she began working for AT&T (American Telephone and Telegraph Company) as a switchboard operator and later as a manager/supervisor, retiring after 33 years of service in communications. She was introduced to a dark-haired gentleman, and soon their friendship blossomed to a commitment of more than half a century. On June 11, 1949, Norma Sue Mayden and Donald ”Don” Eugene Henderson exchanged wedding vows in the Church of Christ in Carrollton, Missouri. They had a wondrous union of 54 years before Donald sadly preceded her in death on September 3, 2003.
She was a member of the Telephone Ladies Club meeting often to socialize and reminisce about the good days that have gone past. She was also a member of the elite Woman’s Club of Carrollton where she served the hostess committee and remained an associate member for the past few years. She was a devout Christian and she was a member of the First Christian Church of Carrollton.
Due to Donald’s employment and following the pipeline, Norma and Don lived many places such as New Jersey, Phoenix, Arizona, Norfolk, Virginia, Wichita and Belle Plaine, Kansas and Marshall and Lexington, Missouri. While in Marshall, Norma volunteered at the hospital and was briefly employed at the drugstore. When they relocated to Lexington, she was finally able to put use a natural talent and a profession she only dreamt of, by owning and operating a flower shop in the basement of their home. Norma had a creative eye and a fashion sense and was keen on what the customer envisioned to make it become a remarkable reality. She was very grateful for this opportunity to serve her customers and did so with love, style, and beauty. Norma was a living Doris Day, but unfortunately without the singing voice. She could walk into any single closet and turn what was hanging inside, by making it a classy fashion statement. Norma was very organized and kept things very tidy. She loved daisies and collected milk glass, with quite a collection over the years. Norma always placed everyone ahead of herself, never in need of anything but the love and comfort of her family. A perfect day for Norma was the opportunity to hold a newborn niece or nephew, with later it became the great-nieces and nephews, to the great-greats. A baby in her arms gave her a deep peace while she absorbed the tiny infant with adoring love. These were her children, and she loved each of them dearly. Norma like to have fun and get away, and shopping was her choice over anything. If she wanted to be around more action, she would visit the casino’s, and she loved to play the slots. This was refreshing to her, to be amongst people, the lights, and the constant sounds of laughter and life.
Norma leaves behind one sweet sister, Marvella “Rose” Ashby; a brother-in-law, Robert “Bob” Watson; a sister-in law, Ruby Mayden; numerous and very special nieces and nephews; Anna May Mayden-Kapusniak, Judy Ellen Mayden-Higley, Terri Mayden-Klimek, Ginna Mayden-Bloss, Staci Webb-Floyd, Tony Webb, Stan R Webb, Diana Lynn Mayden-Davis, Randall Lee Mayden, Dorothy Jean Mayden-Rusk, Donna Sue Watson-Skiles, Kathleen Denise Ashby, Kevin Dennis Ashby, Curtis Eugene Ashby, Mark Aaron Ashby, Andrew Jason Ashby, Amy Jo Ashby-Pelham, Deborah “Debbie” Lynn Coleman-Bennett, Stephen Michael Coleman, Sue Ann Coleman, Dwight Ottis Coleman, Mitchell Stuart Coleman, Kimberly Rose Coleman-Farley, Brenda Henderson-Lee, Sherry Henderson-Sanders, Wanda Tullos-Dudley, Craig Henderson, Leslie Henderson-Ojeda, Rodney Miller, Cindy Henderson-Wychoff, Jill Henderson-Altaus, Kelly Henderson, and Charla Henderson-Hastings; 83 great- nieces and nephews; and many great-great nieces, nephews,and cousins.
She was preceded in death and now joins in eternity, her husband Donald, her parents; four brothers, Harold Emmett Mayden, Donald Edward Mayden, Jewell “Jay” Lee Mayden, Louis Wayne Mayden; four sisters, Mary Jane Mayden who died in infancy, Betty Jo Coleman, Thelma June Watson, and Rebecca Ann Webb; brothers-in law, Glendon Ashby, Ottis Coleman, and David Webb; sisters-in-law, Betty Haws- Mayden, and Cindy Mayden; three nephews, Kenneth Joseph Mayden, Robert Douglas Watson, and Jerry Henderson.
