VIENNA – Kenneth M. Norris, 62, of Vienna passed away suddenly Friday evening September 17, 2021 at his home
Ken was born in Youngstown, November 12, 1958 to David and Nancy Hermes Norris and was a lifelong member of the community.
He was employed by Youngstown Osteopathic Hospital for over 27 years and was the shop steward. He was then employed by Teamsters Local 377 for eight years serving as a Business Agent and the Recording Secretary.
Ken was a member of St. Edward Parish, volunteered at Angels for Animals and their annual garage sale at the Canfield Fairgrounds. Ken was an avid animal lover. He enjoyed his cat, Ace, feeding the Geese, Sea Gulls, Woodpeckers or as you can see, anything within his realm that had feathers. He loved poker, treasures hunting at auctions, and making lake glass for all the children at the Lake Road Condominium Association, Madison, Ohio Ken was a 1977 graduate of Ursuline High School.
He loved making people laugh and everybody enjoyed his company as he was one of a kind, but his true passion in life was about helping others to repair anything that was broken and expected nothing in return. Even in his passing, his legacy continues of helping others by being an organ donor.
Ken leaves to cherish his memory, brothers, Dave (Ann) of Lowellville, Bill (Janice) also of Lowellville, and Tim (Laurie) of Poland, life-partner, Rochelle Landy, nieces and nephews, Jennifer (Chad) Adam, David, Alex, Erica, Shelby (Nick) Griffith and Tim Jr. (Caitlin).
