A New Orleans native, Stephen was born on November 7, 1927 to the late Clifford George Norton and Theresa Proze Norton. He is survived by his loving and devoted companion of over 50 years, Rose S. Reynolds; his stepdaughter, Debbie Reynolds Hutto and her beloved husband, Romaine Hutto; his cherished pets, Chi Chi and Ki Ki; his children, Jacquelyn Walder, Patricia Byrd, Peggy Dastugue and Stevie Norton; and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
