Norma was born on the family farm in Moore, Oklahoma on February 7, 1928 to William Armstrong & Carrie (Haun) Skinner. She would often talk about when she was little, riding on the cotton sacks while her family picked cotton. When she was around five, her mom made her a little cotton sack and she started helping the family pick cotton.
