(From Konantz Warden Funeral Home)
Norma Jean (Gage) Harris passed away on Saturday April 1, 2023. She was born on May 22, 1927 in Lamar, MO to Frank and Effie May (Brummett) Gage. She graduated from high school in Lamar, MO in 1945 and went to one semester of college at Texas Women’s Teachers College in Denton, TX.
Norma was a homemaker, active community member and supportive farmer’s wife with all the jobs that entails. She was a long time, avid bridge player and she also enjoyed reading and writing. She entered and won a Reader’s Digest Writing Contest and was awarded a small electric light blue Thunderbird car that Gayle, Clark, and Kent would drive to the school in Kenoma.
She was an active member of the First Christian Church of Lamar, MO and made church attendance each week a priority for her family. Not only was church attendance important to Norma and Robert but so was education. They were great supporters of higher education in the community and beyond. It is a credit to Norma and her leadership that all of her children and grandchildren went to college.
She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, son Gayle Robert Harris, and brother William Gage.
Memorial contributions in lieu of flowers can be made to the Barton County Senior Center in care of the funeral home.
The family will receive visitors on Monday April 3, 2023 from 1 PM to 2 PM with a funeral service following at 2 PM at Konantz Warden Funeral Home.
