Norris Lee DeFisher

At age 73, peacefully went to be with our Heavenly Father on January 22, 2021, with his daughters by his side. Norris lost his life to Covid due to complications that arose from his nearly 20 year battle with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

Predeceased by his wife Sandy; parents Raymond and Dorothy; brother Vern; daughter Chrissy. Norris is survived by his loving partner Debra Riggs; daughters Carrie Miller, Kelly DeFisher (Edward Schafer); grandchildren Cody, Alyssa, Drake, Jenna, Jace, Morgan, Gavin; step-grandchildren Drew, Amaya; niece and nephew Lisa, Paul; many cousins and countless friends.

Norris was a proud veteran who entered the US Army in April 1967, where he served his country during the Vietnam War.  He then went on to work at Kodak for 33 years before he retired in 2003.

Norris thought the world of his family and was extremely proud of his daughters and grandchildren. He truly enjoyed life to its fullest and could bring a smile to anyone's face.

A special thank you to Dr. Yirinec and the nurses at the Pluta Cancer Center.  As well as, Dr. Friedberg and Dr. Barr at the Wilmot Cancer Center.  We will forever be grateful for the excellent care and support he received from you all.
