Body

Norma “Jean” Mason passed away at the Redbud Village in Plainville on Monday, October 26, 2020, at the age of 90.

She was born in Braman, Oklahoma to Daniel and Ruby (Wirtz) Venters on February 3, 1930. She was united in marriage to Herman Dale Mason on January 25, 1950 at the Plainville United Methodist Church. They were blessed with two daughters: Denise and Nikki.

Norma’s early years were spent in Galva and Canton, Kansas and later Plainville where she graduated from Plainville High School with the Class of 1948. During her high school years, she worked at the Kennedy Drug Store and when ownership changed to Wahl’s Drug Store, she stayed on board as a faithful employee and sales clerk for over 30 years. Her years at the drug store will be remembered by anyone who came in for ice cream or floats—they were the best!

Aside from loving her job, she was talented with her hands and could sew, knit, quilt, and crochet. She was a devoted family woman who was always there for her children, made time to be with her husband going boating and fishing, and even helped her mother with the final stages of her life.

Norma was a woman of great character, strong values, and deep love for family and friends. Although she will be greatly missed, her love and influence will remain in the hearts and lives of her family and friends. May her legacy inspire each of us to encourage one another, cherish the ties that bind, and live to serve God and our families everyday of our lives.

Left to cherish her memory are her children, Denise David of Plainville and Nikki (Bob) Meistrell of Plainville; siblings: Jimmy (Judy) Venters of Mountain Home, Ark., and Darlene McDorman of Great Bend, Kan.; six grandchildren: Jaime (Jon) Corbett, Robin Meistrell (Rusty Baldwin), Tracey (Josh) Post, Kyle (Taylor) David, John David, and Steven David; and nine great-grandchildren: Ryleigh, Halle, Camdyn, Fletcher, Brenna, Christian, Lilli, Warrick, and Tyler; and a great-great grandchild, Kage.

Preceding her in death are her parents, Daniel and Ruby Venters; husband, Dale Mason; a sister, Elaine Lambert; and a grandson, Tyler Ward.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday, October 29, 2020, at 10:30 a.m., at the United Methodist Church in Plainville. Visitation will be held Wednesday at Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home in Plainville from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.
