Norma Dell Bryant Gunn, 82, passed away on October 10, 2018 at Raleigh Court Health and Rehabilitation Center in Roanoke, VA. She was well loved by family and friends, and lived her life by devotion to family, service to others, and dedication to her deep faith. She will be honored by a Memorial Service at Woodmont United Methodist Church in Reidsville on Saturday, October 13th at 1:00pm.
Norma was born on March, 4, 1936 in Wilmington, North Carolina to the late Jane Ellen Curtis Bryant and Norman Bryant. She graduated from New Hanover High School in Wilmington, North Carolina, then received her Registered Nursing degree in 1957 from North Carolina Baptist Hospital School of Nursing in Winston Salem, North Carolina.
After working for several years for Dr. Barbee Council, she ultimately retired from Occupational Health Services at Fieldcrest Mills after working there for over twenty five years. After retirement, her life revolved around her husband and family and her deep devotion to the church. She was always concerned with the welfare of her children and grandchildren and placed family first. Of particular importance to her faith was the church’s outreach to those who were less fortunate, which she consistently coordinated, and she was insistent that this type of work be a priority.
She is survived by David Gunn, her husband of 37 years, her daughter Anna Jane Daniel (Don Daniel), her son Willis Yarberry (Diane Ray), her granddaughter Ellen Garcia (Nole Garcia), her grandson Cameron Yarberry, and her great granddaughter Paisley Garcia.
