Norris Edge

Born on September 23, 1931, in Robeson County, he was the cherished son of Jasper LeGrande Sr. and Lela Rozier Edge.

Norris pursued education at Barker Ten Mile High School and later at North Carolina State University. Following his graduation in 1953, he dedicated two years of service to the army. Norris spent 41 remarkable years at Carolina Power and Light Company (Duke Power) where he became Senior Vice President.

A devoted member of St. Marks United Methodist Church, Norris actively served on various committees and shared his wisdom as a dedicated Adult Sunday School teacher for over two decades. His profound love for the Lord was evident in his commitment to studying God's word, a cherished pastime he deeply enjoyed.
