Goldsboro-Ruby Sutton Norris, 93, passed away on Saturday, April 29, 2023 at UNC Wayne Health. Born in Edgecombe County on September 27, 1929, she was the daughter of the late Voigt Sutton and Ruby Hobbs Smith.
In addition to her parents, Ruby was preceded in death by her husband of seventy-five years, William Hugh "W.H." Norris; son, William Hugh Norris, Jr; and sister, Patricia Cross.
Ruby is survived by her daughter, Leah Lindsay Daly (Kevin); grandchildren, William Hugh Norris, III, Maxwell Elliott "Max" Norris; and Summer Hutchins; great-grandchildren, Damian, Letti, and Sawyer; half-sister, Joanna Fogle (Lee); and nieces, Beth and Caroline.
Ruby was a dedicated and faithful member of Adamsville Baptist Church for many years. She was also a member of the Goldsboro Extension Homemakers Club.
Ruby was a master gardener and known by all for her green thumb. She was a proud military wife, always supporting W.H. in his assignments with the United States Air Force.
Ruby's radiant personality touched all who came in contact with her. Her infectious smile could light up a room like none other. Ruby always chose to find the good in every situation, no matter what hand life dealt her.
