Norma Hawks Anderson

December 30, 1934 – March 30, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Norma Hawks Anderson, who left this Earth on March 30th, 2025, at her home. She was born on December 30th, 1934, to the late Frank J. Hawks and Velma Brewer Hawks in Fries, VA.

Including her parents Norma is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Walter A. Anderson; their son, Charles B. Anderson; and her siblings, Jimmie H. Ratliff, Robert H. Hawks, and Jerry F. Hawks.

Norma and Walter, the love of her life, shared 64 wonderful years together. For 20 years, she worked as a real estate agent and held a broker's license, finishing her career with Century 21.

After retiring, they enjoyed traveling in their motor home while spending their winters in Florida, often sharing stories of their travels upon returning.

A dedicated member of Shady Grove United Methodist Church, Norma was also known for her cooking. She spent hours in the kitchen preparing holiday meals and baked goods, always eager to share them with family, friends, and neighbors.

She is survived by her daughter, Lisa A. Osborne (husband Tom), and her beloved grandson, David Osborne, who held a special place in her heart as the apple of her eye. She is also survived by her brother, Richard “Dickie” Hawks (wife Rachel), and three young girls who brought joy to her life: Kaylee Cantrell, Baylee Cantrell, and Parker Orr. Additionally, she leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and a host of friends who will miss her dearly.
