Norma Ann (Floyd) Whaley

Norma Ann Floyd Whaley, age 62, of Rose Hill left this earthly life for her eternal rest on Saturday, November 9, 2024.

She was born on September 9, 1962, in Duplin County; the daughter of the late Ralph Noman and Margie Morgan Floyd.

Norma is survived by her children, Corey Whaley and wife Katie of Burgaw, Kayla Francis and husband Richard of Rose Hill, Kelsey Norris and husband Chris of Rose Hill and Zachary Whaley and wife Brianna of Rose Hill; grandchildren Tyson Whaley, Mason Whaley, Savannah Whaley, Johnathan Gilbert, Jamison Francis, Brayden Francis and Colton Francis; sister Tracy Wells and husband Lloyd of Rose Hill; step mother Fannie Floyd of Rose Hill; and extended family and friends that loved Norma dearly.

Norma was a loving mother, caring grandmother and stepdaughter.  To her children, she was the best mother in the world.  Being a kindhearted and loving lady, everyone called her “Mama”. Norma’s grandchildren were the apples of her eye. She adored every one of them.  Norma enjoyed working outside with her favorite plants, ‘elephant ears’.  She also enjoyed going to the beach, picking up seashells and listening to the Backstreet Boys. There was one thing on Norma’s to-do list every day and that was to have her morning coffee to start her day.   She was a great lady and will surely be missed but treasured memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and love her.

Funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 13, 2024 at Quinn-McGowen Funeral Home, Wallace Chapel with the Reverend Leo Bracken. 

The family will receive friends from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, one hour prior to the funeral service at the funeral home.
