Norma Jean Brooks Berndt, 88, daughter of Laban and Bertha Brooks (deceased), passed away quietly in her sleep on Tuesday, September 21, 2021.

She was one of 11 children, of which her sister Judy (Brooks) Daugherty is now the only remaining sibling. Norma had four children, Jeanna Driver (Mike Mangold), Bruce (Cindy) Driver, Alan (Suzanne) Driver, and Willard Neal Flowers Jr (deceased). Norma was blessed with 14 grandchildren and 41 great-grandchildren, whom she greatly loved and enjoyed spending time with.

Norma worked hard to raise her children and was proud of their accomplishments and public service. She was especially proud the day her three law enforcement sons were with her on the day former Sheriff Joseph McAtee made her an Honorary Deputy.

A graveside service will be held on Saturday, September 25, 2021, at 11:00am at Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Disabled American Veterans, Leukemia Society, or the American Heart Association.
