Ted William Norris

Ted William Norris, age 65, of Willard passed from this life to his eternal home in Heaven on Monday, August 18, 2025.

He was born on November 3, 1959, in Pender County; the son of John Norris of Wallace and the late Mollie Parker Norris.  He was also preceded in death by his son Jonathan Norris and brothers Richard Norris and David Norris.

Mr. Norris is survived, in addition to his father, by his loving and devoted wife of thirteen years Julia Lanier Norris of the home; children Christopher Norris and wife Kelsey of Rose Hill,  Angel Norris of Willard and Kyle Norris of Willard; sisters Betty Sherrill and husband Bob of Willard and Darlene Norris of Burgaw; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends that loved Ted dearly.

Ted was a wonderful husband and great father and brother.   He was a simple man who enjoyed simple things, but his greatest joy was his family.   Ted was a hard worker and a good provider for his wife and children.  He had a heart that was full of love and grace.  He was always upbeat and never allowed anything to bring him down.  Ted enjoyed playing golf and being an avid animal lover, he enjoyed taking care of animals.  First and foremost, Ted’s main desire in life was glorifying God and living the Word.  He had a deeply rooted relationship with Jesus and always put him first.  Ted will surely be missed but treasured memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

Memorial service will be held 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at Potts Memorial Presbyterian Church in Willard, NC.
