Normalea Taylor's Obituary
Normalea (Moorman) Taylor was born April 24, 1926 to Vernon and Allie (Tate) Moorman in Des Moines, Iowa. She departed this life on September 6, 2017 at her home in Corydon. Normalea graduated as Valedictorian on January 7, 1944 from Valley High School. She was united in marriage to Harry Glenn Taylor on December 25, 1943 in Adel, Iowa and to this union five children were born. Glenn and Normalea started their married life off by living in an old granary that she always said they froze in. They then purchased a farm south of Living History Farms and when Interstate 35 divided the farm in 1958 they moved their family to Humeston, Iowa. Norma was a devoted wife driving tractors and feeding cattle on the farm beside her husband until their move to Corydon, Iowa in 2006. She was a member of The Rebekah's and Corydon Methodist Church. She was a 4- H leader, served on the Wayne County 4-H adult committee and was foods superintendent at the fair for many years. Norma loved to farm, garden and cook and took pride in taking exhibits to the county fair for 50 years, including this year even though her health was deteriorating. She was famous for her homemade rolls and pies. Her kids loved to try and outbid each other on pies she baked for many fundraisers. Her pride and joy were her Great Grandchildren. She said "every generation is more precious." Her main purpose in life was to go watch them play sports, show livestock and school activities. Preceding her in death was her husband Glenn, son Robert Allen, daughter in-law Doris, her parents, brother Kenneth, sisters; Irene, Vivian and Rose, and grandson Michael Prunty. Survivors include son Harry Glenn Jr (Karen) Taylor, Linda (Burton) Prunty, Randy (Maxine) Taylor, Brian (Nancy) Taylor; sister Gloria; grandchildren Scott (Michelle) Prunty, Brent (Tammy) Prunty, Justin, Tim (Mindy) Prunty, Jeremy (Brandita)Taylor; Tammy (Matt) Davis, Kari (Jared) Dodson; great grandchildren Colton, Akaylee Olivia, Kenton and Kinsey Prunty, Connor Wallace, Hunter and Zoe Taylor, Emilea and Ashlynn Brown, Chance Davis, Bently, Blaize and Bexley Dodson; and many other step grandchildren, family and friends.
