Norma Mae Herron

Norma Mae Nix Herron passed away Tuesday, September 21, 2021 at Blount Memorial Hospital, surrounded by her family. Norma is preceded in death by her parents, Denny and Lula Roberson Nix; brothers, Jimmy (Kay) Nix; and “Baby Jack” Nix. She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Ronald L. Herron, Sr.; sons, Ronald Lynn Herron, Jr., Roger Herron; grandchildren, Cory (Samantha) Herron, Katelyn (T.J.) Herron Skeen; great-grandchildren, D’artagnan and Mackenzie Barnhardt, Natasha and Sabine Herron, and Thomas and Maddie-Kate Skeen; sister, Sarah (O.R. “Dick”) Phelps. Norma was a devoted Christian, wife, and mother whose greatest joy was being with her family and doting on her great-grandchildren. She showed her love for others through food, and no person left her home hungry. She had a loving and generous heart, a gentle spirit, and a kind word for every person she met. She will be greatly missed, but we rejoice in the knowledge that she has met her Savior Jesus face-to-face. “Best Mom Ever.” Family and friends will assemble at 1:00 PM for Graveside Service and Interment Tuesday, September 28, 2021 at East Maryville Baptist Church Cemetery with Pastor Travis J.
