Jimmy Norman Obituary
Jim was a graduate of Little Rock Central High School. He was a retired electrician from IBEW Local 295. Jim was a talented musician who enjoyed playing and singing country and gospel music.
When Jim said his wedding vows "for sickness and health" he lived those vows the last 18 years of Dottie's life. In 2003 she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and the way he cared for the love of his life has taught his family the true meaning of love. He is now joyously reunited with Dottie in Heaven in perfect bodies with no sickness or sadness.
Jimmy is survived by his sons, Leslie Nelson (Candy) of Springdale, William Nelson of Ramsay, MN, Jimmy Norman, JR (Amy), of Midway, and Michael Norman of Friendship; daughters, Gina Parish (David) of Midway, and Vickie Cooper (Bruce) of Little Rock; grandchildren, Timothy Nelson (Shannon) of MN, Brent Barrett of Little Rock, Cody Parish (Darcy) of Midway, Justin Norman (Tara) of Lafayette, LA, Christopher Nelson (Heather) of Springdale, Jodi Wise (CJ) of Friendship, Cortney Bryant (Joseph) of Midway, Alex Nelson (Randi) of Fayetteville, Spencer Nelson (Faith) of Farmington, Mason Norman (Alexis) of Donaldson, and Gracie Norman of Midway; 21 great-grandchildren; brothers, Thad Norman of Rose Bud, David Norman (Dean) of Little Rock; sisters, Anita Lackey (Tommy) of Little Rock, Becky Hannah of Little Rock; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Always fun to be around. He loved my Aunt Dottie & they loved to sing & entertain their family & friends. We loved spending time at their home visiting with all of the family & listening to them sing. He will be missed but we will all have wonderful memories of those times.
