Norma Jean (Kellie) Stull, 88, passed away on Monday, February 19, 2024 at Penrose Hospital in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She was born on September 15, 1935 in Sutherland, Nebraska to Francis and Esther (Nicholson) Kellie.
Norma was preceded in death by her father, Francis; mother, Esther; stepfather, Fred Stull; older sister, Leila Mae; and nephew, Dennis Burkholder.
Norma is survived by her younger sister, Phyllis; brother-in-law, Richard of Ness City, Kansas; and nieces, Sharlon Mays of Spearfish, South Dakota, Lana Doughtery of Stockbridge, Georgia; and nephew, Terry Burkholder of Florence, Montana.
Norma grew up on a ranch in LaGrange, Wyoming. She liked doing things outside such as harvesting in the large garden, and occasionally milking cows. She graduated from LaGrange High School and attended Peoples Bible College in Colorado Springs. Then began her lifelong career of caring for others, whether babies or much more mature people. When the whole family moved to Rocky Ford, Colorado, she acquired her first automobile – the famous green Volkswagen “Bug”. She liked things neat and, in their places, and enjoyed playing her accordion, reading, and collecting unusual keychains.
Norma’s faith in the Lord was very important to her. During her last days, she expressed to others that she was ready to begin a new life with her Savior.
A graveside service will be held on April 11, 2024 at the Fairview Cemetery in Colorado Springs, Colorado at 1:00 p.m. with Rev. Darren Wize officiating.
Words of comfort and support may be left for the family by writing in the guestbook.
