Norma Pomphrey Obituary
Norma Faye Crosier Pomphrey, 86, passed away on Sunday, March 29, 2026, at her residence in Verona.
She was born on January 4, 1940, in Waiteville, West Virginia to the late Perry Alvin, Sr. and Garnette Lucille Bostic Crosier, one of thirteen children.
Norma dedicated her life to caring for her home and those she loved. She found great joy in gardening, tending both her flowers and vegetable gardens. She also loved to travel, especially to her favorite places in Tennessee - Nashville and the Smoky Mountains.
Norma enjoyed life’s simple pleasures, including going out to eat and spending time with family and friends. She was especially known for her cooking, and her famous homemade rolls.
A woman of strong faith, Norma was a former member of Shenandoah Baptist Church in Verona. Despite facing numerous health challenges, she remained a fighter, always maintaining a positive attitude and a strong spirit that inspired those around her.
She is survived by her sons, Charles “Doug” Douglas Pomphrey, Jr. and his wife, Yazmin and Jerry Flynn Pomphrey and his wife, Carla; her daughter, Terri Lynn Pomphrey; her sister, Brenda Gayle Crosier Vaughn; her grandchildren, Charles Douglas, III, Meredith Marie, John Douglas, and Andrea Kate Pomphrey; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
