My heart is so broken. I came for a visit to visit in 2016 with her sister Zona. I got to meet Norma and Sue her other sister. It was a great time. She was an awesome person. She always would comment on Facebook. I am going to miss that. What a beautiful person. Rip my friend.
Mrs. Putteet was one of the first persons me and my family met when we moved to Somerset in 2006. She was a wonderful person. Her family was truly blessed to have her. Now heaven is blessed by her presence. My God comfort and bless the Putteet family now in in the days to come as they process the loss of their precious loved one.

Norma, was a life-long friend! We had lost touch but a few years, but renewed our friendship several years ago. She and I became fast friends at EKU. I was in her wedding to Jerry, and she in mine to GG! We taught together at the same school in Ohio for a while. I met her parents and a few brothers and sisters, long ago. I am so very sorry for her loss and for those of her sons and granddaughter.
She was the best.
Rest in peace, Norma! I know where you are.
Hugs to her family! Candy
