Norma Jean Ready Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Norma Jean Howze Ready was born on July 12, 1935 in Lott, Texas to John Gaston and Odelia Mae Howze. She went home to be with her Lord and Savior, at the age of 84, on June 24, 2020. Norma was a loving daughter, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. There was never a time that her door was not open or a meal wasn’t ready for whomever needed it. She was a founding member of Westway Baptist Church in Huntsville, Texas and was blessed to be able to care for the babies in the nursery there for over 24 years. Norma had some of the biggest, most beautiful blue eyes you’ve ever seen and could love you but also scold you, with just a look. She adored her family and loved them fiercely. She will be greatly missed by so many that knew and loved her. She is survived by her children, Linda Wonzer, Jimmy Niersman, John Bailey (Dianne), Ronda Ledbetter (Bill), Chyrle McCarty (Merl), Alishia Layton (Rusty), Ramona Koch (Lex) and Gary Ready (Jenny); her grandchildren, Jimmy Patterson, Tammie Patterson, Christie Wood (Hayden), Tracie Wonzer, Tisha Derden (Joe Bill), Tonya Griffin (James), Barbara Lunt (Allen), Robert McCarty (Tricia), Jacob Ready (Ashley), Joseph Munden (April), Jared Munden, Neosha Koch and Jeremy Koch (Antoinette); numerous great grandchildren, as well as her sisters, Nelda Hejl, Delores Lahman, and Linda Overbay. Norma is preceded in death by her parents, her loving husband of 42 years, Henry “Bully” Ready, her grandchildren, Allan Patterson, Taffadie Wonzer and Tiffani McCough; also by her brother, Burl Howze and son in law, Bill Wonzer. Visitation will be Monday, June 29, 2020 from 12:00 – 1:00pm and services will be at 1:00pm at Westway Baptist Church in Huntsville, Texas. She will be laid to rest at Farris Cemetery.
