On April 4th, 2025, Norma Jean Tomlin, passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by her loving family.

Norma Jean Puterbaugh was born on March 30th, 1931 at the family home in New Waverly, Indiana to Ned and Ella (Douglass) Puterbaugh. She was the beloved baby sister of Sara Lou Puterbaugh and Jack Puterbaugh.

Norma was a 1949 graduate of Monticello High School where she was a high school cheerleader. She was a lifelong, faithful member of the Monticello Christian Church where she served as a Deacon. She was also a member of the Delta Theta Tau sorority.

Norma was the very proud mother of Janice and Robert from her marriage to Jack Guy.

Norma later married, Ted Tomlin, who whisked her away to Texas. She spent many very happy years building memories with Ted until his passing in 2010.

Norma fully embraced life as a Texan but remained an Indianapolis Colts fan despite the urging of her Texan neighbors who were rooting for the Dallas Cowboys. Part of her loyalty may have been due to her fondness of Peyton Manning!

One of Norma’s greatest joys was spending time with her family, her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was also a beloved mother to many others, including her many nieces and nephews. Norma stayed active playing bridge, spending time with her dear friends and attending her class reunions.

Norma leaves behind her daughter, Janice (Randy) Crutchfield and her son, Robert (Gina) Guy, grandchildren; Corey (Lisa) Crutchfield, Jamie Crutchfield, Nick (Izzy Huaracha) Crutchfield, Erin (Andrew) Hay, Madison (Zachary) Miller, Kole (Ashleigh) Young, Jonni (Michael Augustyn) Goodman, great grandchildren; Kaleb (Andrea), Kaylee (Jake, Lillie & Jack), Carter, Makenzie, Gwen, Warren, Thea, Palmer, Ford, Callie, Ellie and Karson.

Norma is preceded in death by her parents, Ned and Ella Puterbaugh, her sister, Sara Lou Martin, her brother, Jack Puterbaugh and great grandson, Hudson Young.

Norma’s strong faith in God and her love for her family and friends will continue to inspire all who had the privilege to know and love her.

Visitation will be Wednesday, April 9th from 11:00 am until the time of service at 1:00 pm at the Fred L. Miller Memorial Chapel of the Roscka Roth & Clapper Funeral Home in Monticello with a Delta Theta Tau Sorority service before Pastor Benji Riddle’s service.
