Norvie June Brooks

BROOKS ~ Ms. Norvie June Brooks transitioned from her earthly home into her eternal home September 15, 2018.  She was born February 14, 1952 to the late Paul Brooks and Juanita Watson in Jacksonville, Florida.  Ms. Brooks was united with her spouse, Dwight Moses, for fifty-two years.  She was preceded in death by her parents; daughter, Cheryl Freeman; granddaughter, Sahara Barkley; brother, Thomas Brooks; sisters, Geraldine Mims, Charlotte Pratt, Shirley Lee Brooks. 

Norvie attended the local schools of Duval County.  She was a civilian worker with Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida over thirty years.
