Norma Jean Parsons Hodge

Norma Jean (Parsons) Hodge, age 74, of Ringgold, Georgia, passed away on March 14, 2026, at home surrounded by her loving family.

A devoted follower of Christ, Norma was a loving mother, grandmother, and sister who lived her faith with quiet consistency. She faced life’s many obstacles without bitterness, choosing instead to seek the good in every situation. When no silver lining appeared, she would reach for a joke and deliver it with her signature whimsical spirit and infectious laugh, bringing light and comfort to those around her.

She is survived by her sons, Michael (Terri Kay) Morrison and Stephen Morrison; her sisters, Rhonda Clayton, Brenda Clowers, Thelma Hinds and Stella Jenkins; her brothers, Leonard Parsons and Gary Parsons; and her beloved grandchildren, Kelsey Morrison, Makayla Morrison, Gavin Morrison, Kristin Adams and Carrie Brown.

Norma was preceded in death by her parents, Sherman Parsons and Farris Parsons (Hughes); her brothers, Edward Parsons and Fred Parsons; and her sisters, Virginia Keith and Peggy Cabe. Her family will forever cherish her kind smile, her forgiving heart, and the legacy of love, light, and faith she leaves behind.
