Norma Jean Rayborn

Norma Jean Rayborn, 85, of Williamstown, KY, entered into her heavenly home on Wednesday July 9, 2025 at Boonespring Nursing and Rehab in Union. Born on May 4, 1940, she was the daughter of the late John and Daisy Webster Beach.

Norma was united in marriage to Clarence J. Rayborn; he preceded her in death on June 24, 1993. For many years she worked as a Food Prep Server for Toyota Manufacturing in Georgetown. In her spare time, she loved watching Westerns, the Golden Girls, working puzzles and word searches, collecting birds, angels, antique dolls and working in her flower garden, but she will be best remembered for how she loved playing jokes on the family. She was a member of the Williamstown Christian Church.

In addition to her husband, Clarence Rayborn, she was preceded in death by five brothers: Milford Beach, Marvin Beach, John “Buck” Beach, Raymond Beach, Alan Beach and one sister: Linda Shepherd.

She leaves to carry on her legacy of love to her three daughters: Clarice (Ford) Threlkeld of Williamstown, Carolyn Rayborn of Frankfort, Christine Rayborn Clark of Georgetown; two brothers: Albert (Carol) Beach, Melvin Beach; four sisters: Shirley (JT) Devers, Kathy (Randy) Bailey, Dorothy Collins and Virginia (Ted) Jones. Also surviving are six grandchildren: Will (Lacey) Threlkeld, John (Kayla) Threlkeld, Morgan Threlkeld, Kyle Rayborn, Kelsey Clark, Caleb Clark and two great-grandchildren: Raylee Threlkeld and Westin Threlkeld.

Graveside services will be conducted on Friday July 11, 2025 at 2:00 at Williamstown Cemetery with Dr. Ford Threlkeld officiating.
