William Lester Norris, 83, of Houston, TX, passed away on January 28, 2026, in the company of his loving wife of 47 + years, Adina Norris.

Born on March 15, 1942, in Winnsboro, TX, to Alfred and Velera French Norris. He grew up in the rural town of Pittsburg, Texas. After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the United States Army and lived a life marked by kindness, hard work, and deep devotion to his family. He was known for his generosity, patience and love, and he touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

He spent his life working hard where he was respected for his dedication and integrity. Outside of work, he found joy in golfing, and he especially cherished time spent with his family.

He is survived by his loving children:
Pam Norris & Craig Krause, Pflugerville, TX
Stanley Reese Norris, LaPorte, TX
Linda & George Teel, Hughes Springs, TX
Dianna & Travis Bateman, Crosby, TX

Great Grandchildren: Tucker, Tayler & Tinley Teel; Braxton, Caroline & Theia Norris; Grayson, Landon & Cooper Faucher.

Numerous nieces and nephews and family that weren't necessarily blood.

He was preceded in death by his mother and father, his sister Ruth Jordan, a daughter Stephanie Norris, a son Billy Vance, a grandson PFC Cody Norris and son-in-law David Tauriello.

A service to honor his life will be held on Saturday, February 7, 2026, 10 am, Crowder Funeral Home, 111E Medical Center Blvd, Webster, TX 77598. Family and friends are invited to attend and celebrate the legacy he leaves behind.
