Norman L. Mabry

Norman was born on May 30, 1931 in Shreveport, LA.  On December 29, 2023, he went from this life to a life with no pain or sickness.  He joined his parents and brothers for a family reunion.  No doubt they are playing dominoes.

He is preceded in death by his parents, William D. and Isabelle Houseman Mabry; his brothers, William D. Mabry, Jr, Billie, and Charles Ellis Mabry.  He is survived by his wife of 68 years, Sylvia Massey Mabry; one son Norman L. (Dink) Mabry, Jr. (Dicki) of Waskom, TX; one sister, Sarah Mabry Hadwin (Jerry) of Charleston, AR; sister-in-law Pauline Mabry of Marshall, TX; and his “almost daughters” Kathy Davis Hanley, Karen Davis McIlvoy (James), and Kim Davis Huff (Don); also his special lifelong friends, Wayne Dillman (Carol) and Paul Rachal (Margie) and many friends.

He will be missed by all who knew him.  He never met a stranger.  He loved camping with friends and always talked about going to Atlanta State Park one more time with them.

There will be a Memorial Service at 10:00 Tuesday, January 9, 2024 at Summer Grove Baptist Church (Modern Venue) with Bro. Billy Crosby officiating.  The graveside service will be held at 11:30 Wednesday, January 10, 2024 at the NWLA Veteran’s Cemetery.
