Norma Shearin Proffitt passed away on Sunday, May 14, 2023. Her dear mother and sister, Eleanor Shearin Dame and Joan Shearin Lloyd passed before her.
Norma leaves behind her childhood sweetheart and husband of 63 years, Herbert Warren Proffitt. She is also survived by her daughters, Julia Page Proffitt and her husband, Terry O’Gorman of Galway, Ireland, and Susan Proffitt McKelvey and her husband, Brian McKelvey of Calabash, North Carolina; her grandchildren, Victoria McKelvey, Daniel McKelvey, and Oscar O’Gorman; and her sister, Barbara Shearin Garbett.
Friends and family have been incredibly kind and generous during this difficult time with delicious food, beautiful flowers, and lovely visits. Thank you all so much.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
I have very fond memories of Norma and Herb growing up at Mt. Vernon Baptist Church. Condolences to family and friends.
Dear Herb
We are praying for God’s peace for you and your family during this most difficult time.
