In addition to his parents, Beryl was preceded in passing by his loving wife, Betty Joean Elliot Norris; one son, Ernie Norris; brother, Melbourne Norris; two sisters, Gladys McCracken and Wanda Reeser. Beryl was a quiet, sincere, honest, and loving father, grandfather, great grandfather, and great-great grandfather. He was a simple man with strong integrity. He would always do what was right and advocated strongly for what he knew was right in the ways of the Lord. As a member of High Point Baptist Church in Roan Mountain, Tennessee he served as a Deacon and a Sunday school teacher for over 60 years. He was a very devout man of the Christian faith. He was employed at Bemberg for 20 years. Upon its closing he worked doing various things, including carpentry work, until he became a full time mail carrier. He served his community with the United States Postal Service for a number of years and delivered mail to the old Route 9 community. Aside from serving the Lord in his daily life and working, he enjoyed camping and more importantly spending quality time with his family. Beryl was surrounded by a loving family. Those remaining to carry on his memory include a son, Harvey Norris and wife Brenda; daughter, Pat Shell and husband Wayne; grandchildren: Beth McLaughlin; Aleshia Cuthbertson; Lee Norris and Jason Norris; great grandchildren: Andrew and Austin McLaughlin; Gracie Cuthbertson; Zachary Shell; Justin and Bradley Norris and Boone Norris; one great-great grandson, Knox Norris; a sister, Veryl Hopson and a special friend Johnny Ledford. Several nieces, nephews and cousins also survive carrying on his legacy. The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Keith Cook and nurse, Aleshia. As well as the nurses and staff of the Johnson City Medical Center for their loving care.
