A Celebration of Life Service will be held at noon on Saturday, Aug. 24, 2024, at Friendship Baptist Church in Grenada for Norma Taylor Morgan, 74, of Grenada, who died on Sunday, Aug. 18, at her residence after battling cancer. Visitation is 10 am until noon. Burial will follow the service at Grenada Memorial Gardens.

Norma was born in Grenada on Jan. 16, 1950, the youngest of 7 children of the late Bluford L. and Vivian Spain Taylor.

Norma was employed in Human Resources for many years at Heatcraft, a job well suited for her gift for working with people.

She was an active member of Friendship Baptist Church, serving on several committees, and a faithful member of the Circle of Faith Sunday School class.

Norma loved Scripture and spent 30 years teaching Bible Drill classes at Hardy Baptist and Friendship Baptist Church.

She embodied the phrase, "to have a friend, be a friend." Her friends were there for her whenever she needed them, and she was there for them. She especially enjoyed game time with friends playing cards, Bunco, Rumikub, and more. She had a wonderful sense of humor and laughed often.

Norma did her best to not let her illness slow her down. She was bound and determined to live life to the fullest each day; traveling, working in her yard, visiting with friends, reading, taking meals to the sick, organizing events, attending family events and loving everyone who crossed her path. When she would sit down from all her activities, she would enjoy an episode of Judge Judy or a good game show.

The only thing that rivaled Norma's love for friends and family was coffee. She kept a fresh pot brewing at home at all times and drank it from sunup to sundown.

Norma was married for 49 years to Charles Morgan who preceded her in death. They shared a lifetime of love, adventure, and cherished memories as a couple and as a family.

Norma had a strong faith in the Lord, which sustained her during the tough times. She lived her faith by loving those around her, praying for them and showing up for them when they needed it – with a casserole, a card, a hug or a visit.

She was preceded in death by her husband Charles Morgan and her brother Roy Taylor (Carolyn). She is survived by her two sons, Lee (Julie) of Madison and Lyle of Nashville; grandson, Grant Darling; sisters Edith Nunnelee (Jim), Kay Bridges, Bessie Faye Pollan, Jane Bratton, and Joyce England; her sister-in-law, Peggy Little (Earl); many nieces and nephews and grand nieces and nephews.

Jerry Barton, John Bratton, Randy Bratton, Kent Bridges, Ryan England, Barry Nunnelee, Ron Nunnelee, Wayne Nunnelee, Curt Pollan, Chris Taylor and Craig Taylor will honor Norma by serving as pallbearers and carry her to her rest in the Grenada Memorial Garden.
