HIXSON, TN – Norma “Sissy” Tucker Plain, of Hixson, Tenn., passed away peacefully Tuesday, March 1, 2022, at her residence with her family by her side. Born July 7, 1942, in Muhlenberg County. Sissy was a born again Christian and a member of Abba’s House, formerly known as Central Baptist Church, where she taught Sunday School for many years and led a singles group with her husband, Ben Plain. She and Ben were trained Christian counselors and their faith and love for families became their passion.

Sissy was called many names by her family and friends. She was known as Norma Kay, Sissy, Sis, Mom, Mama Sis, and Aunt Sissy. Sissy will be remembered by many as being a regal lady, classy lady, the funniest and the sweetest woman; always smiling and never meeting a stranger. Everyone was greeted by her with a Hi-dy, hugs and smiles, and her sense of humor.
