Norma Faye Brodie, 94, of Mexico passed away peacefully at Pin Oaks Living Center July 10, 2024. Norma was born March 26, 1930 in Mulberry, Ark., the daughter of Ona Milton and Bonnie Mae (Floyd) Langley.

Langley of Ark.; three daughters, Brenda Smith of Mexico, Rita Fletcher of Virginia, and Virginia (Randy) Gilmore of Centralia; two sons, Michael Brodie of Mexico and Paul {Heather) Meyer of Colorado Springs, Colo.; 18 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren, 15 great-great-grandchildren, and a large number of nieces and nephews.

Becker and Joshua Malcomson.
Her body will be cremated under direction of Arnold Funeral Home in Mexico, Missouri.
