Norma Jean Sanderson,
October 17, 1949 – June 12, 2017
Norma, of Neosho, Missouri, was born in Wichita, Kansas on October 17th, 1949, the youngest of four children, to Arlie Birchfield 'Buck' Caudell and Ida Fay Kraft. She passed peacefully at 11:07pm at Select Specialty Hospital in Springfield, Missouri on June 12, 2017, surrounded by close family. Her brothers Ronald Caudell and Douglas Caudell, preceded her in death, while her sister Peggy Jones, of Claremore, Oklahoma, survives.

Survivors also include: daughter Kelly Hood and son in law Tom Hood, daughter Kimberly England and her fiance Russell O'Neill, grandchildren, Joseph Burnham and wife Susan, Jessica Burnham, Gabriel VanWinkle, Christopher Brandon, Nicholas Brandon, and Benjamin England, and great grandson, Lincoln Cane.
Norma had a great zest for life and loved her family greatly. She loved to laugh and be silly and have fun with her daughters and her grandchildren and her friends, but most especially her great grandson. A great love of animals was very evident in Norma's life. She gave generously to various animal welfare groups and provided a loving home to many various animals over a great many years. Her love of animals was evident in her every moment of life, in every aspect.
Norma enjoyed traveling as much as she enjoyed taking care of her home and her husband. She was a devoted wife and mother who gave as much of herself as she had to everyone she encountered. She made instant friends everywhere she went, she never met a stranger.
A bright star in the sky of life is forever dimmed with the passing of this beautiful, loving woman who will be forever missed.
