Norman Douglas Cowan, 84, entered into the loving arms of his Savior during the early morning hours of Monday (February 14, 2022). Norman was born on July 21, 1937 in Bristol, VA to the late Glenn Thomas & Mary Elizabeth (Watson) Cowan. Norman was a dedicated member of Euclid Avenue Baptist Church where he served as a Deacon, Sunday School Teacher for over 50 years, and a RA Teacher. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, campfires and story-telling. Norman was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend; he will be greatly missed. In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Shirley Ann Cowan; two daughters, Kathy Cowan Osborne and Beth Cowan; brother, Glenn Cowan; sister, Carolyn Cowan Keith. Left to cherish his memory are his daughter, Christy Napier (Terry); two granddaughters, Rebekah Napier (J.

Due to the COVID pandemic, a Celebration of Life Service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers the family requests that memorial contributions be made to Euclid Avenue Baptist Church (900 Euclid Avenue Bristol, VA 24201). The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at NHC Healthcare and Caris Hospice for all of the compassionate care that was both given and shown to Norman in his time of need.
