Norma Raylean Munson

Norma Raylean Munson’s grand entrance into the world began on February 19, 1943. She graced the lives of her parents Albert and Dorothy Hydeman as she grew into a beautiful young woman who wanted to join the FBI. Sadly, this performance would never come to pass, and she decided to take on a more fulfilling role as a mother to her four children – Jim, Kim, Tiffany, and Parker. This determined heroine also became a dedicated schoolteacher who would touch the lives of many students, especially those who took her drama classes.

As the family matriarch, parties, talent shows, and bug parades were just a few of the performances arranged by this gifted director. As a Sunday school teacher, temple worker, and Relief Society teacher, she endeared the people around her with her caring disposition. Alas – this true performer shall be missed. Encore Raylean Munson!

Raylean’s last act in this mortal existence ended on November 4, 2022 in Gilbert, Arizona. As a mother, sister, wife, drama teacher, and friend, Raylean lived a life full of adventure.

Raylean is survived by her siblings – Nancy, Albert, and Susan; her 4 children and their spouses, 16 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren, and her beloved dog, Molly.
