William Paul Norman de Mauriac
William Paul Norman de Mauriac was born in Middletown, Connecticut, on October 21, 1953, and died on June 20, 2025, in Wilton, Connecticut. He lived most of his life in the Old Saybrook, Connecticut area. Paul struggled with mental health and physical health issues for most of his life. Despite his troubles, he was a gentle soul; he was funny, he loved music, he made endless collages, he spent hours reading his Bible and sent Bibles to his siblings. He enjoyed going out to lunch and then going to visit his grandparents' home, which is now the Old Saybrook Historical Society. Paul loved cats. Every cat he had was named Little Tyke. When his health permitted, he worked at Philips Norelco and in various restaurants. After many years of living on his own, Paul moved into Meadowbrook Manor in Centerbrook, Connecticut. His life became much easier there. In his new home, Paul made new friends and, for 20 years, got the support he needed from Meadowbrook's loving staff.
Paul was predeceased by his parents, Natalie Englander de Mauriac and Henry de Mauriac, and his stepmother, Beatrice de Mauriac. Paul is survived by sixteen nieces and nephews and his four sisters, Joanne Leaman and her husband Carl (Westport, CT) Alice de Mauriac and her husband Julio Sanchez Baños (New Harbor, Maine) Constance Weiner and her husband Eric (Pittsburgh, PA) and Caroline de Mauriac (Durham, Maine). His brother, Henry de Mauriac, died three years ago. His sister, Marion Camille de Mauriac, died in infancy.
At some time in the fall, Paul's family will gather for a graveside service at Indian Hill Cemetery in Middletown, CT.
