Jerry Norris Obituary
Morehead City
The earthly journey of Louis Jerome (Jerry) Norris, Jr. was brought to a close on August 19, 2013. Confident in the promise of his Heavenly Father, who left this world to prepare a place for His children, Jerry slipped into a new journey.
Full of love for his fellow man and his native Morehead City, N.C., he joined these two constants and practiced medicine in his favorite place for over thirty years. His contributions to patients, church, civic activities, and most of all his family filled his life with joy and activity. Even when his life's journey took him to a nursing home facility, Bayview Rehabilation and Nursing Home, he continued to share cheer, enthusiasm, and his considerable talents (music, Bible Study, and good conversation) with his fellow residents.
His family will remember many good times and much love and happiness during their association with him. Family members include: Rebecca Norris Long, husband Steve and their children Danielle Long Shaw and husband William Shaw and Amanda Long; Jeffrey Norris, wife Angela and their children Diana Norris Chen and husband Tzu, Sarah Anne and Richard Jerome Norris; Patrick Norris, wife Stacey and their children Ethan and Micah; and Anthony Norris, wife Lisa along with daughter Madison. Also surviving is sister Mary Lou Dougherty of West Des Moines, Iowa, plus a number of beloved nieces and nephews. His wife of 61 years, Marilyn Fussell Norris also survives.
He is preceded in death by his mother and father - Louis J. Norris, Sr., and Ola Bell Norris.
A memorial service will be held at First Baptist Church, Morehead City at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, August 24, 2013, followed by a reception for family and friends at First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall adjacent to the sanctuary.
In lieu of flowers, please direct any contributions in his memory to your nearest Salvation Army.
