Norma Jean Jennings

Norma Jean Jennings, 81, passed away Tuesday, September 17th, 2024, at the Memorial Hospital of Carbon County in Rawlins, WY.

Norma enjoyed nothing more than spending time with her kids and grandkids. She loved the outdoors and spending time at the family cabin that Hugh built.
