Norma Joyce ''Pat'' Hutcheson

Born Norma Joyce Powell on June 13, 1935 to Dewey and Leah Powell in Dimmitt, Texas. After courageously facing lung cancer, Norma passed from this life on November 21, 2019, at the age of 84.

She was preceded in death by her Beloved husband Hays Hutcheson; Parents Dewey and Leah Powell and 3 brothers; W.D. (Bill), Merton, and Clifford Powell.

Norma married Hays on February 2, 1949 in Dimmitt, Texas. They had five children, Belinda, Debra, Virginia, Martha, and Hays, Jr. They then moved to California to raise their family. She was a devoted Mother and homemaker.

Retiring in the early 70's, they left California and bought a 40 Acre Homestead outside of Leslie on Angora Mountain Rd. They began the adventure they had dreamed of, living and loving a country life. Eventually they established several businesses in Leslie, ending with Ozark Mountain Ironworks. Through a combination of Authenticity, Integrity, and a Great Work Ethic they left a positive influence on the community they served.

Norma's husband Hays passed in 2008. Feeling the loneliness of her loss she turned her attention to others. She began volunteering at Highland Court in Marshall. For many years she brought Joy and Love to the residents. She became known as Mom, Nurse Lollipops, and Grandma to the residents and they loved her dearly.

Norma is survived by her brother Robert Powell of Muskogee, OK. Daughters Belinda Hutcheson of Slidell, LA, Debra Criger of Mountain View, Virginia and her husband Roy Barslund of Leslie, Martha and her husband Ted Schneirla of Marshall, and Hays and his wife Kim Hutcheson of Leslie.

She was a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and friends. Her Steadfast Faith, Love, and Generosity made this world a better place. She will be great missed and Always Loved.
