Austin, Norma Lee

Norma Lee Austin July 22, 1927 - Dec. 5, 2006 Graveside services will 
be held in Hillcrest Memorial Park, 9101 Kern Canyon Rd., today, 
Friday, December 8, at 2:00 p.m. Norma Lee Austin passed away on 
December 5, 2006, after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. She 
was the beloved matriarch of our family. Norma was born in Duncan, 
Oklahoma on July 22, 1927, to Verna and Alvis Williams. She migrated 
with her family members during the Dust Bowl era to Bakersfield. 
Mother always said, idle hands are the devils play toys, so before 
the disease took hold of her you could always find her working with 
her beloved plants or making sure the house was kept immaculate. Mom 
was also one of the best cooks and bakers you could have ever known. 
She loved being surrounded by her family and she had a hand in the 
daily raising of both her grandchildren and great grandchildren, who 
in the end returned the favor by helping to take care of her and 
loving their grandfather until the Lord called her away. The illness 
may have taken her and her mind, but it could never erase the 
beautiful memories we have of the times we shared with her. Norma is 
survived by her loving and caring husband of nearly 60 years, RC 
Austin who was also her main care giver during her illness; her 
brother, Jimmy Williams and his family; son and daughter-in-law, Stan 
and Barbara Austin and their children, Tiffany and Michael Austin; 
her daughter and son-in-law, Carolyn and Terry Fitzwater and their 
daughters and extended family; Shelly Sprouse and her children, 
Moriah Frye and Alexis Goalwin; Tory and husband, Ken and their 
children, Jordan and Hallie White; Darcey and husband, Rich and their 
son, Jack Oldhafer. Visitation begins this morning 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 
p.m. at Greenlawn Mortuary, 3700 River Blvd. Greenlawn Mortuary
