NORMA LEE GRAVES,

of Little Rock, Ark., went home to heaven on September 12, 2023. She was surrounded by her loving family. She was born March 27, 1927, in Keo, Ark., to Bill and Letha Howell. She was a member of Park Hill Baptist Church, where she actively served for many years. Norma was preceded in death by her husband, Robert M. Graves; parents, two sisters, and one brother. She is survived by four daughters and their husbands: Brenda and David Frensley, Lisa and Robby Robelot, Susan and Burt Lockard, and Karla Brown; one son and his wife: Mike and Teresa Graves; ten grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

Norma grew up in Scott, Ark. She loved her first job as a powder carrier at the Little Rock Air Force Base. Her next job would be a bookkeeper for Young’s Department Store in England and later Camden, Ark. The rest of her years were spent loving and nurturing her children. Our mother was a strong, spirit-filled woman of faith and a constant prayer warrior, a legacy she would impart to all of her children. As her children, we feel it is the greatest blessing we have ever been given. The family is grateful for her many caregivers, her niece, Sonja Howell, The Hight House (Melissa, Kate, and Lindy) and Hospice Home Care.

A Celebration of Life service will be held Wednesday, September 20, at 10 a.m., at Roller-Owens Funeral Home, North Little Rock, Ark. Entombment will be at Calvary Cemetery in Little Rock. An online guestbook is available at: www.rollerfuneralhomes.com/owens.
