Maurice Donald Norwood Jr

MAURICE DONALD NORWOOD, JR. was born on December 6, 1947, in Baltimore Maryland to the late Maurice Donald Norwood, Sr. and the late Cora Watson Norwood. The family was also blessed with a daughter, the late Joni Norwood. He was also the father of Andrea Bradley, Marcia Robinson, and Marc Norwood and the grandfather of the late Timothy Spivey, Gary Burley, Jr., and Aidan Bradley. Maurice departed this life on December 26, 2023. Maurice had strong roots in Baltimore and maintained long lasting friendships. How many of us still maintain friendships that started in kindergarten? He did. He was a graduate of Baltimore City College class of 1965 and received a Bachelor of Arts from Loyola College in 1976. Maurice served in the United States Army from December 1967 until he was honorably discharged in December 1970 and later discharged from the reserves in December 1973. He began his career with the Social Security Administration in May 1974 and retired in May 2008 as a Program Analyst with the Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Operations. He was the recipient of numerous awards and certificates. Maurice was a member of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees and the Blackmales for Justice at SSA as a board member and secretary. He would also perform videographer services for clients, family and friends and managed to catch everything on tape. How many of us have asked to be edited out, only to be met with his signature smirk and laugh? Maurice was active in his community as a faithful supporter of the Epworth United Methodist Church, as treasurer of the Woodmore Community Association, and as a volunteer with the Baltimore County Police Department in Woodlawn. He loved people and always remembered the birthdays of family and friends with a card. Maurice looked out for others and was always there to lend a helping hand to any family member or friend who needed it. He was also known to give good advice on everything whether you asked for it or not and was always right. He was an avid collector of music and had a love of movies. He would see a new movie every Sunday with his fiancée, Corinthia Galloway. We all knew not to call or visit during movie time. Maurice leaves to cherish his memory an extensive list of family and friends.
