She was born October 22, 1923 in Caldwell County to the late Benjamin Harrison Watson and Bertha Coralee St. John Watson. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her first husband, Carl M. Laws and second husband, Howard R. Norman; six brothers, Cloyd, Donald, Junior "BH", Daniel, David and Harold Dean; and two sisters, Pansy Watson Walker and Hazel Watson Arnette.
