Norris with wife, Kathleen, and granddaughter Cassondra, of Spring Hill, Florida; nephew, Peter Canova with wife, Gina, and grandnephews, Marcus and Charlton; niece, Mary Sebeck with husband, JR., and niece, Gloria Canova with longtime boyfriend, Mark, all from Nevada. She also leaves behind a sister-in-law, Philippa Libby, a nephew, Paul Dickey, a niece, Pauline Miller and Paul, Allen and Mark Norris, from Maine.
