Norma Pearce

Norma Lee Pearce, age 87, met her heavenly father on May 4, 2025. Norma was born and raised in Hamilton, Alabama. She spent the last forty-nine years in Birmingham, Alabama, raising her family, working, and enjoying her grandchildren. She was a long-time member of McElwain Baptist Church (now Hope Community Church). She was a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She was a strong, generous, hard-working woman devoted to her family, church, and Lord. She was a talented cook and seamstress who used her gifts to serve others and the Lord. Her beautiful smile and kind eyes were always ready to welcome family, friends, and strangers. With her faith, strength, and wisdom, she inspired and challenged others to be and do their best and to live every moment to the fullest. Her legacy of love lives on in the lives of her children and grandchildren. She will be greatly missed.
