Norman Majette

Norman Hoskins Majette passed away, October 30, 2018 , after a valiant fight with cancer. He has now been reunited with Virginia, his beloved wife of 36 years.

Norman was born on January 25, 1935 to Edgie and Thelma Majette. He loved growing up on Gwynn’s Island along with his brothers, Edgie and Carlton, and his sister Mary, who have all preceded him in death. After being drafted and serving in the military, Norman made his career working on the tugboats for C&O Railroad in Newport News, VA. After retiring, he worked in the Maintenance Dept. at Walter Reed Convalescent Center. He could fix just about anything and was meticulous in his work. Norman was always willing to lend a helping hand or give words of advice to those who needed it. Norman was one of the founding members of Cornerstone Fellowship Church and contributed to the building and maintenance of the church in its early years. He will be greatly missed by all!
