Norma Jean Weeks was born May 26, 1939 in Dallas, Texas to Harry Delos and Ruby Nell (Pelton) Bowles. She graduated early from Garland High School in 1957, where she was a "Dashing Deb" and an incredibly amazing roller skater. She married young and it lasted 17 years. She raised three daughters, becoming a master cookie maker, stained glass creator and craftsperson extraordinair in the process. In 1975 she married James Weeks. At that time, she found she was extremely capable in mechanical and business matters, excelling in both, which she applied to their business endeavors.  She loved travel, Bahama Mamas, Madea, Harleys, Rock & Roll (AC/DC), and riding in fast cars. She liked to surprise people by having Vanilla Ice's "Ice, Ice Baby" as her ringtone. She was a natural gardener, enjoying planting, sharing cuttings and seeds with people she cared for. She collected Angels and created a Grandma school for 4 of her great-grandchildren, which has led to their incredible success in public school and in local pageants. She had a wicked sense of humor and love of life which is evident in all her descendants. She lives on in that way through them all. Life will not be the same without her and we will all miss her dearly.
