Norman is survived by his children, Katherine Gosline, Norman Myshrall Jr. and his wife, Lizbeth Myshrall, David Myshrall, Yvette Mimnaugh and her husband, William Mimnaugh, and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Among his surviving siblings are Daniel Myshrall, Richard Tillotson, and Juanita McKenney. Norman also left behind his loved companion, Joyce Jean, and her children, Jacqueline and Wes Carver, Lisa and Paul Smith, and Craig Pushard.
