Norma Jean McGill

In the evening of December 27th 2022, at the age of 90, Norma Jean McGill was welcomed home by a host of Heavenly Angels, surrounded by loving family members. She was born December 10, 1932, to John and Elizabeth Hart in the small community of Winganon, Oklahoma. Jean had a happy childhood, the youngest of 7 children. She completed 8 years of school at Winganon School and then finished her education at Talala High School and graduated with the class of 1951. 
She happily married her high school sweetheart Robert McGill in 1952. Robert was scheduled to leave for Korea in February of 1953 and Jean told Robert that she wanted to be married before he was called to service, and that’s just what they did. The two wed at the Wedding Chapel in Miami, Oklahoma on December 22, 1952. The two spent the next eleven years building their family across military bases in Texas, Kansas, and even Guam.
Following Robert’s military career, the family made their home in Chelsea, Oklahoma in 1964, where they enjoyed raising their two sons and daughter. Jean enjoyed fishing, bowling, and being an active member in her congregation at First Baptist Church. Jean loved Jesus, and especially loved her family and grandkids, who called her “Mema”.  She was a woman of discernment and had the gentlest way of passing on her wisdom. She believed in holding family tight and making moments count. In honor of Norma Jean McGill’s memory, may we all hug each other tighter, and make each moment last. 
She is preceded in death by her parents John and Elizabeth Hart; siblings Beatrice Wallace, Bessie Kirby, Viola Nathan, Edith Bowman, Lois Custer, and Bill Hart. As well as Daughter-In-Love Joella Crouch.
