Marian E Norton

A memorial service for Marian Norton, 81, of Coos Bay will be held at noon, Sunday, September 22, 2024 at Laverne Park, 61217 Fairview Road in Coquille.

Marian was born July 12, 1942 in Newberry, Michigan to Clarence Loper and Dorothy Dalton. She passed away April 6, 2024 in Coos Bay.

Marian married Larry Allen Norton in Reno, Nevada, August 8, 1968. Because they were a military family, they moved around to many places. The family lived in North Carolina, New Jersey, Panama, Alaska and Oregon.

Marian worked at the PX in Anchorage, Alaska, Ft. Elmendorf. She worked as a waitress, sold jewelry and Avon and was even part of gold prospectors. She cooked for the North Bend Senior Center and eventually started to run it. She volunteered for the Elks Club, Coos County Fair and always donated to the Wounded Warriors Project, Doernbecher Children’s Hospital and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

She loved flowers, gardening, camping and traveling, but most of all, Marian loved her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a proud homemaker and military wife and will be deeply missed by all those who knew her.

Marian is survived by her children, Teresa, Bill, Tammy and Larry; grandchildren, Danielle, Roxanne, Catrina, Janelle, Allen, Kara, Larissa, Nichole, Amy, Marian and Kendall; great-grandchildren, Andrew, Justyn, Aleksyss, Austyn, Eryka, Ryan, John, Robert, Sophia, Margaret and Thomas; and siblings, Kenny and Dennis.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Larry Allen Norton in 2002; sons, Roger and John and siblings, Barbara and Russell.

Arrangements are under the care of Coos Bay Chapel, 541-267-3131. Family and friends are invited to sign the online guestbook at www.coosbayareafunerals.com
