Norman was born April 12, 1934 in Eastland, Texas to James and Margaret Watson (deceased).

The Watson family moved to Arlington in 1964 and immediately joined First Christian Church. Norman served FCC in the past 53 years on multiple committees and was an elder for many years.
Norman worked at Texas Electric (now TXU) for 45 years as an electrical engineer. He earned his Associates Degree in Electrical Engineering from Arlington State College. Norman's joys in life were serving his church, camping and boating with his family, working with the Boy Scouts as a troop leader (attended the National Jamboree twice), volunteering for the Arlington Life Shelter, tinkering with cars, woodworking, and was an avid reader. He and Eileen enjoyed traveling together in retirement.
Norman was a man of deep faith who loved his God, his family and serving others. He will be dearly missed.
