Norma Hackney Obituary

HACKNEY Norma Rollins Hackney, 87, of Atlantic Beach, died at her home on Sunday, January 2, 2011. Norma was a graduate of University of Tampa, Tampa, FL and received her Master's Degree from Jacksonville University, Jacksonville, FL. After a successful career of teaching Physical Education and coaching for 33 years, Norma retired in 1992. Her love for her 'kids' was exhibited by her encouraging words and her 'never quit' attitude. Her greatest joy was being a mother and grandma. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 58 years, Leland Ray Hackney, and her siblings Albert T. Rollins, Hugh O. Rollins, and Edward C. Rollins. Survivors include her children: Leland Ray (Sharon Ruth) Hackney, Jr., Norma Lee Hackney and friend Susan A. Whitemountain, David Morton (Libby Skelly) Hackney, and Heyward Odell (Sharon Williams) Hackney; her grandchildren: Jake Hackney, Halsey Hackney, Danielle (Matt) Davis, Heather Ann Hackney, Hugh Thomas Hackney, Holden Marshall Hackney & Hope Isabella Hackney. A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m., Friday, January 7, at Christ United Methodist Church, 400 Penman Road, Neptune Beach, with Rev. Nancy Stiles officiating followed by a light lunch at the church. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you make a donation to Community Hospice or your favorite charity in memory of Norma.
