Norma Scott Harris

Mrs. Norma Scott Harris, 74, wife of the late Robert F. “Buddy” Harris, Jr., and a resident of Painter, VA, walked graciously into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior on Saturday, July 29, 2017.

Born April 6, 1943 in Cashville, VA, she was a daughter of the late Joseph Talmadge Scott and Blanche Harrison Scott.  Norma retired from Accomack County Public Schools, where she worked in the cafeteria for many years.  Following retirement, she continued to work as a substitute teacher and later as a receptionist for the Eastern Shore Chamber of Commerce, always greeting those she served, taught, and welcomed with her sweet smile.  As a longtime member of Painter-Garrisons United Methodist Church, Norma served her church in many capacities and happily volunteered her time when needed.  The kindest of souls, Norma lived a life of selfless giving through her dedication to the Lord, her family, and philanthropy throughout her community.  Though she will be greatly missed, her memory will live on in the hearts of the many lives she touched.
