Norma Dotson

Norma Jane Dotson enjoyed the moment she had lived her entire life for when she met Jesus face to face after her death on April 13, 2021 in Abilene, TX. Born in Houston, TX on June 8, 1929, to Louis H. and Eva Peters (deceased), she was a graduate of Reagan High School. Norma was known for her beautiful alto voice, and sang in the glee club in high school, and also at many church functions. She enjoyed writing, bird watching and nature in general, but most of all, she was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ and displayed a missionary zeal in sharing her faith. Norma lived at various times in Houston, TX; Spring, TX; Magnolia, TX and Abilene, TX. She loved her children with all her heart, as well as her grandchildren. She was famous for her large spreads at holiday meals, with her specialties being chicken and dumplings and banana pudding. Her life spanned a great deal of history, being born just months before the stock market crash of October 1929, and in a year when Babe Ruth led the league in home runs. She always endeavored to stay up with developments, and was fond of her I-Pad and I-Phone, even at age 91. Norma was preceded in death by her husbands, Ernest B. Dotson, Jr. and Doyle D. Hicks. She was also preceded in death by a daughter, Donna Stone and her husband, G. Terry Stone; and by her sister Betty Mize. She is survived by her two sons: E.B. Dotson III of Abilene, TX and wife Jean; Mike Dotson of Fort Worth, TX and wife Lynn; six grandchildren: Greg Stone of Conroe, TX and wife Raquel; Kimberly Stone of Rhome, TX; Rebecca Stone of Houston, TX; Cordy Crawford of El Granada, CA and husband Alan; Luke Dotson of Fort Worth, TX and wife Alyssa; and Maggie Duhon of Northlake, TX and husband Landon. She is also survived by two sisters whom she loved dearly: Alta Westerfeld of Conroe, TX and Penny Schild of Houston, TX. In addition, she is survived by 12 great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren. Norma will be missed here on earth, but her family and her brothers and sisters in Christ look forward to a joyous reunion someday in the presence of our Lord and Savior. The Addison family and staff of Magnolia Funeral Home extend condolences to Norma's family and friends.
