NORMA LEE HARDY, age 89, of Washington Court House, Ohio, passed away peacefully and surrounded by her loving family on Monday, November 3, 2025, at Carriage Court Assisted Living.
Norma was born on May 18, 1936, in Summit County to the late William Jewett and Mary Margaret (Sprankel) Jewett. Norma attended New Straitsville High School, and later worked for Wilson Photography Studios in Nelsonville, Ohio.
