Norman Joseph Coury
Oct. 18, 1926 — July 1, 2021 (age 94)
NEW CASTLE — Norman Joseph Coury, 94, formerly of Youngstown, went to Heaven peacefully Thursday (July 1) surrounded by his loving family.
He was born Oct. 18, 1926 in Youngstown, the son of Pete and Ida (Thomas) Coury.
He lived an exceptionally long, healthy, beautiful and blessed life with enormous love of people.
Norman was the proud owner of Coury's Interior furnishings in Coitsville for 30 years before retiring.
He was also the proud owner of an amazing big swimming pool where he and his wife, Nancy, entertained family and friends for a few decades. It was a magical and blissful place that was shared by friends and family and was open to whoever wanted to visit.
Among his family, it was often referred to as "Coury's County Club" or "The Property" for the open door policy that endured because of his generosity and kind heart.
His deep faith in God was evident in the compassionate and giving way he treated people.
He loved creating, construction and the military which he was part of as a World War II Army veteran.
He loved to dance, music, to cook and laugh, but most of all he loved his wife Nancy tenderly whom he joins again in Heaven.
Norman will be greatly missed by his children Diane (Tom) Jacob of New Castle, Robert Coury of Jupiter, Fla., and Johnny Coury of Canfield; grandchildren Ginny Jacob of New Castle, Corrie Jacob of Pittsburgh, Christian (Brianna) Coury of West Palm Beach, Fla., and Jacques of Jupiter, Fla.
Norman was preceded in death by the love of his life, the former Nancy Beshero whom he spent more than 59 years of wonderful marriage with until her passing June 14, 2014; his parents; and his daughter-in-law, Jacqueline Coury.
Family and friends may pay their respects to Norman Tuesday morning (July 6) from 10:30 to 11:55 a.m. at St. Maron Maronite Church, 1555 S. Meridian Road, Youngstown. A Divine Liturgy of Christian Burial will follow at noon with Father Tony Massad as officiant. The funeral will also be livestreamed on St. Maron's Facebook page for those who are unable to attend the services in person.
Burial will take place at Poland Riverside Cemetery, where military honors will be provided by the great men of the Ellsworth VFW.
