Glasgow resident, Norma Hubbard, age 69, passed away suddenly at her home on February 15, 2026, following a courageous three-year battle with cancer.

Norma Lea Hubbard was born in Moberly, MO, on October 22, 1956. She was one of six children born to the late Paul and Christine (Fuemmeler) Forbes. On June 2, 1974, Norma married the love of her life, Daryl Hubbard, at the First Baptist Church in Glasgow. Together, they shared five children and over 51 years of marriage. Norma held several jobs throughout her career, including working for Kellwood and Slater Garment Factory. For 25 years, she worked as an office assistant for the Glasgow Housing Authority.

Survivors include her husband, Daryl Hubbard, of the home; five children, Shannon (Christy) Hubbard of Boonville, MO, Dani (Kurt) Craig of Boonville, MO, Aaron (Candice) Hubbard of Jefferson City, MO, Chanda (Chris) Graves of Glasgow, MO and Katie (Josh) Bird of Glasgow, MO; nineteen grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren; three siblings, Pauline (Bill) Monnig, Geraldine Norris, and Bill (Wendy) Forbes, all of Glasgow, MO; and brother-in-law, Steve (Cindy Borts) McCabe of Glasgow, MO. In addition to her parents, Norma was preceded in death by two grandchildren, Jenna Graves and Jordan Craig; great-granddaughter, Aiden Gonzagowski; two siblings, Donna McCabe and Sarah Beeler; and two brothers-in-law, George Beeler and Don Norris. She was also preceded in death by her best friend, Diane Carmack.

Norma was the heart of her family — a devoted wife, loving mother, and proud Nana whose life was defined by selflessness, strength, and unconditional love. She loved gardening, especially her zinnias, as well as going to garage sales and bargain shopping. She cherished teaching her grandchildren to cook and bake pies, and she never missed an opportunity to cheer them on at sports and activities. Friends were family to Norma, and she was affectionately known as “Aunt Norm” to all who knew her.

A woman of faith, Norma’s favorite scripture was, “Give your burdens to the Lord, He will carry them.” She will be remembered for her generous heart, hardworking hands, and fierce love of family.

A celebration of life will be held Sunday, March 8, 2026, at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Glasgow, with visitation from 1-3 p.m. and a memorial service at 3 p.m. officiated by Bro. Tom Rowland. Private inurnment will be at the convenience of the family. Memorials may be made to the Glasgow Booster Club, c/o Friemonth-Freese Funeral Service, 112 Market St., Glasgow, MO 65254.
