Norma Elaine “Snooky” Norwood, 77, widow of Heyward Joe Norwood, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, March 16, 2024.

Mrs. Norwood was born in Fork Shoals to the late James Thomas Kellett, Sr. and Eula Mae Donald Kellett.  She retired from Her Majesty and later worked at Eckerd’s Drug Store and as the assistant librarian at the Fountain Inn Library.  She was a member of the former Fairview Street Baptist Church.  Snooky loved to travel and trips to the beach.  She enjoyed reading Harlequin Romance Novels and watching the Hallmark Channel.  Snooky relished her opportunities to dine out with her sisters.  She and Heyward were regulars at local dirt track racing.  She was a collector of Blue Willow China, red Cardinal figurines, and purses.  Her greatest joy was being “Grandma” to her grandchildren.
