Larry Norris was born on March 12, 1947, in Wake County to the late Rufus Norris and Bronzella Norris. On May 27, 2026, he peacefully answered the Master's call and entered into eternal rest.

Larry received his education through the Fuquay-Varina Consolidated School system. Following his education, he entered the workforce and was employed with Reynolds Aluminum, Haynes to The Rescue, and Oldcastle. He was also self-employed for a number of years, demonstrating a strong work ethic and dedication to providing for his family.

Larry was a faithful and active member of Bazzel Creek Missionary Baptist Church, where he served diligently on the Usher Board until his health declined. His commitment to his church and community reflected the strength of his faith and his willingness to serve others.

Larry was a devoted husband, loving father, grandfather, caring brother, uncle, cousin, and cherished friend whose kindness and presence touched the lives of many. He will be remembered for his wisdom, quiet strength, generous spirit, and unwavering love for his family and community.

Larry found great joy in life's simple pleasures. He enjoyed being a member of The Midnight Cowboys, camping, horseback riding, cooking out, and participating in parades. He especially loved riding his Goldwing motorcycles and spending time outdoors. Larry was truly a down-to-earth man who appreciated fellowship, family, and the beauty of nature.

He was preceded in death by his stepson, Anthony McCleary of Willow Springs.

He leaves to cherish his precious memories: his devoted wife of 31 years, Carolyn Norris of the home, Holly Springs, NC; one daughter, April Bell (Hiwatha) of Charlotte, NC; sisters, Ruby Jones (Erle) of Willow Spring, NC, Ozella Hunter (Buddy) of Madison, Al, Trunita Toppings of Holly Springs, Patricia Harris of Durham, NC; and one brother, Lonelle Moore of Hiawassee, GA.
