June 30, 1938  –  October 29, 2026

Harry Lee Norman, 88, went to be with his Savior and Lord on October 29, 2026. Born June 30, 1938, He was proceeded in death by his parents, Willie Lee Norman and Annie Belle Woodruff Norman, brothers C.W. Norman, Cecil Norman, Eric Norman, and sister Wilma Kidd. He is survived by his loving wife, Shirley Teague Norman; his son, Brooks Lee Norman; his daughter, Jeanne Carol Moore, and her husband, Michael; his grandchildren, Brice Moore and Michaela Moore; his sister, Marjorie Jarrett; and eight nieces and thirteen nephews.

Harry graduated from WP Daniel High School, New Albany, MS in 1956 and Mississippi State University in 1960 with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Management. He served six years in the Army Reserve, training at Fort Benning, GA, and served active duty at Fort Campbell, KY January – August 1962. His working life included employment with Wurlitzer Piano Company in Holly Springs, Mississippi; Baldwin Piano and Organ Company in Fayetteville, Arkansas; and Meals on Wheels in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

His Christian faith was the foundation of his life. Harry served as a deacon at First Baptist Church in Holly Springs, Mississippi; First Baptist Church in Fayetteville, Arkansas; and Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in New Albany, Mississippi. At First Baptist Church in Holly Springs, he also served as Sunday School Director, Discipleship Training Director, and Brotherhood Director. Through each responsibility, he expressed his commitment to serving the Lord and caring for his church family.

Above all, Harry was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He and his beloved wife, Shirley Teague Norman, shared 64 years of marriage, building a home grounded in Christian faith and unconditional love. Their children grew up knowing the security of parents who loved the Lord, loved one another, and faithfully supported their family.

Harry treasured time with his family, whether throwing a baseball, coaching his son’s summer baseball team, watching sports together, or spending a day on the water. He taught his children perseverance, responsibility, and faith—not only through his words, but through the steady example of his life. His family remembers his generosity, his encouragement of their dreams, and his enduring devotion to Shirley. Harry lived a life marked by faithfulness to God, devotion to his family, and service to others. Harry leaves his family a cherished Christian legacy of faithful love, humble service, and perseverance. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by those who shared his life.
