Landy Ray Norman

Landy Ray Norman was born January 18, 1945. He passed from this earth on August 31, 2026.
He was born to Alex and Katie Lee Norman, the second of four children, in Claremore, Ok., where he lived his entire life.
He graduated from Claremore High School in 1963. After graduation he went to work for the City of Claremore, where he worked for many years. After leaving the city he started his own residential trash service with his dad. After retiring from that he volunteered for Meals on Wheels. That became his reason for living. He enjoyed it so much. He also was a blood and plasma donor. He would drive to Tulsa to donate plasma. He was pretty passionate about that too.
Landy loved the Oklahoma Sooners, every sport, but especially the football team. He could tell you about every player on that team from the 50's up until today. He never missed a game on TV, until this year. They played their first game last Friday.
He also loved the Atlanta Braves. He and Mom would stay up until 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning watching them lose, but they never gave up hope. They really had some bad teams back in the day. Their hope was finally realized, and now the Braves are a team to be reckoned with.
He also loved his family. He never married, or had children, so his nieces and nephews were his children. He loved them fiercely. There wasn't a thing he wouldn't do for them or his sisters.
He loved to tell a joke, some funny, some not so funny, but he loved to tell them.
He is survived by his sisters, Fran Brewster and her husband, Allen, Sandi Williams and her husband, Jerry, of Claremore. Nieces Karen Nadal and husband Dwight of Claremore, Bethany Bates and husband Brian of Thessoliniki, Greece, nephews Jon Critchfield and wife Michelle, Neal Brewster and wife, Amy Mat Brewster and wife Amy, Clifton Williams of Claremore, and Jeff Williams, of Tulsa, and great nieces, Madison & Lydia Brewster and Ryane Williams, and great nephews, Riker Olari, Drake Olari, Peyton Brewster and Lucas Strauss-Williams.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to Meals on Wheels.
