This is my AUNTIE AUNTIE🥹♥️.......Auntie "Jean" was married to my dad's baby brother, Uncle Richard.  My dad/mom had me when he was 30 and my sis at 32. So in the cousin realm, I was the in between(all of them were older), and Melisha and my sis were the same age.  I was a introverted child and Auntie saw ME.  My fondest memories were of when my sis and I would spend the night/weekend over to the house.  I had started playing and sleeping in Melisha's room closet because those 2 were either always arguing with each or they would pee in the bed(both of them) on me!!!

I remember around when I turned 8 and would come over Auntie let me have the den, I would be in my own little world watching movies or just chilling in the big recliner.....she saw ME.  She loved ME!  She made this shy awkward niece of hers feel special.  This went on until I was about 12yrs old and then her son moved there from Kentucky?!!??  WTW?

Who was Tim?  When did she get a son?  And most of all, why did he get my "unofficial" room at there house???  WTW?....

No seriously, Auntie taught me to love all my awkwardness, all my quirks.  I loved her for that!....

When I think of effortless class and grace, I only think of 2 women in my life;  my mommy and my auntie Jean ..... heaven gain a great one with you♥️🥹

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of auntie Jean, my prayers are with the entire family! Melisha I love you and I am always always going to be here for you and your family if you ever need anything! 

Condolences to the family of Norma Jean Green.  There are not enough words to express my sorrow for your loss. I pray that God grants your family peace and serenity during this difficult time. I knew Norma over 35 plus years, she was not just my best friend she was like my sister and part of my family. I miss her friendship and talking to her; we texted or talked on the phone almost every day. Norma was the most kindhearted, generous, and loving person I ever knew. In all the years I knew Norma I never saw her angry, she always had a smile. Her heart and generosity knew no bounds, no matter what the situation Norma was always ready and willing to lend a helping hand. The loss of Norma has left a void in my life and an emptiness in my heart. Norma Jean Green was an angel here on earth and I know she is one of God’s Angels in heaven. I will forever treasure my memories of her.

My sincere condolences to Jean's family and friends. I will always remember her smile and kindness.

Hey Beautiful

Our Love for Each Other Lives On

To everyone, especially Tim, Chantel, grands & great grands, other family members, friends & others who knew my sister/friend, our loss goes deep. Norma would want us to heal,  keep being the best human being that we can be, & keep living our best life. Positivity was one of her greatest assets.  Gone but never forgotten. Emma Brooks-Johnson

My dearest sister/friend  & I met on the job at Economic Opportunity Board in NLV in 1976.  Our friendship grew & we bonded immediately because of our similar small town backgrounds: Kentucky & Arkansas.  We have been in each other’s lives for over 48 yrs. She helped me raise both of my sons, Johnny Dwayne Yancy & David Yancy II. They think of her as an Extension of me. Her kids & family were like my family.  After texting became available, we texted every day.  We loved having our Sister/girl ALL day shopping trip & luncheon or dinner every time I came to Vegas. There was not an occasion: birthday, Mother’s Day, holiday or just want to make you feel good day that I didn’t relish letting my sis know I loved her & how much I wanted her to always have something from me to brighten her day. No matter what gifts we exchanged, she loved receiving & I loved sending her our special gift between US: Coach, Dooney & Bourke; Michael Kors & Louie Vuitton purses. I still have quite a few gifts  & gift cards that she sent me that I will keep & cherish forever. We checked with each other Every day on our activities for the day & what we were eating that day. Our last texts between each other was March 14, 2024 when she was headed to Walnut Senior Center to play Bingo. My text to her on March 15 went unanswered. That last text from her will remain in my phone until we meet each other again.  My dear love, for every life you touched, you left your footprint in their heart. My heart is so lonely without you. There are so many days that I pick up my phone to text or call you as we often did to tell each other about something funny that happened & that’s when the emptiness sets in. Your family, me , Bobby & more people than anyone knows about, were beneficiaries of your kind, generous, giving unselfish behavior. My condolences to her family, our family, friends & the community for a loss that’s irreplaceable.  Save me a seat Sis. When we meet again I look forward to our special times together. I love & miss you each & every day. 

Spending the day at Walnut Rec Center — with Norma Jean Green

There hasn’t been a day gone by that I haven’t missed my Sister/Friend Ms. Norma Jean Green. I met Norma when I joined Walnut Recreational Center. We always talked to each other but during Covid in 2020 we got closer because the center was closed so we talked on the phone every day. We learned we had so much in common like watching the same television shows for one. We watched the same shows and talked every night about what was going on with them! We started going shopping together and she would pick me up to go to the center. She would come to functions at my apartment clubhouse. We loved going to breakfast and lunch together. She didn’t have Siblings but she had a lot of friends. Our friendship turned into Sisters of another Mother. She said I was the Sister she always wanted. Lord, I’m thankful you put us in each other’s lives even if it was only for a Season. I loved our friendship and so did she. God bless Norma for the love she shared with everyone and me. She’ll forever be missed. Rest Dear Friend, my Heavenly Angel and Sister/Friend! 

I pray the family strength in these times. If you ever need anything please call and I will be there.I loved Ms.Jean cause she first loved me and my family. My heart is heavy and she will always be in my memories. I know she loved her kids but also loved her grandchildren and her great grand baby. 🙏🏽

With deepest sympathy to family and friends. RIP

My heart is so heavy but at the same time I feel so Blessed to have had my friend in my life for 48 yrs. I miss her dearly. Sis I will always love & miss you. 💕 Emma
