Norma Jean Branham
November 22, 1932 — March 24, 2020
Norma Jean Branham, known to many as Nan-nan, went home to be with the Lord on March 24, 2020. She passed away in her home where she lived with her daughter, Debbie & her husband Tom Price for the past 12 years.
Norma Jean was born November 22, 1932 in KY to Kelly & Ela Turner. She grew up in Pikeville, KY and became a waitress at the age of 15. There she met a Taxi driver, Virgil Branham, whom she was married to for 3 months shy of 50 years. Virgil took her on an adventurous ride of a lifetime! After they married, they settled in Boone County, WV where they raised their family. They had 5 children - Sharon, Sally, Debbie, Dwayne & Keith.
Norma Jean was an active member of Cazy FWB Church for many years. There she taught a teenage Sunday school class for 14 years, helped in Vacation Bible Schools, President of Lady’s Aide, participated in annual plays, and member of the church choir. Her husband served as a Deacon where Norma Jean was a role model of a Deacon’s wife. They blessed many ladies with transportation to church who were unable to drive.
Norma Jean was known to everyone as one of the sweetest, most kind ladies you would ever meet. She was a very faithful wife, mother and grandmother. Her example shined Christ. She fulfilled the role of a Proverbs 31 woman (her children rise and call her blessed). She left a legacy that has impacted generations and will continue on.
May she leave you with something to remember "May the Lord Bless you and Keep you.” Numbers 6:24
Norma Jean was proceeded in death by her parents Kelly & Ella Turner, husband Virgil Branham, oldest son Dwayne Branham, sisters Blanche, Opal, Palestine, Pauline, Wildean and daughter in laws Mary an Denise.
