1937-2025
Peggy Jean Ivy Norman was born May 19, 1937, in Hampton, AR, to Horace and Georgie Ginn Ivy. She graduated from Hampton High School and moved to Pine Bluff in 1956. She was married to Dean Norman on May 26, 1956, and became the office manager for Dean Norman Construction until her retirement in 2000. Peggy was a long-time member of Calvary Baptist Church in White Hall. She loved her church and her church family and was a former Sunday School teacher. She also loved to cook and for many years was in charge of food for various events at the church. Peggy had lots of friends and could be described as a social butterfly and was always ready to go or do something at a moment’s notice. She will be missed by her “Thursday night dinner crew.”
