Mary Mccullar Norris

Mary McCullar Norris, age 75, of Water Valley, MS died Thursday, September 17, 2020 at Yalobusha County Hospital in Water Valley. She was born April 10, 1945 in Water Valley to the late Marvin and Lucille (Palmertree) McCullar. She spent the majority of her career at Big Yank, Borg-Warner and as a teacher’s assistant at Water Valley School District. Mary was a faithful member of Sylva Rena Baptist Church where she had served as a Sunday School teacher and in the WMU where she was awarded the “Faithful Servant” award. She was also a member of the Water Valley Lions Club and Gideon's Womens Auxiliary.
She enjoyed tending to her flowers, reading, quilting and cooking Sunday lunch for her family. Nothing was more important to her, though, than spending time with her grandchildren.
