Norval A. Barnes

Norval A. Barnes, affectionately known as Norval, departed this world on February 21, 2025, at his home in Moncks Corner, S.C., surrounded by his family. He was born in the same town on March 15, 1943, to Adville Calhoun Barnes and Georgia Newell Barnes.

Norval honorably served his country as a proud US Army Veteran and then continued his service with the US Air Force before retiring. Then fulfilling a career with Lockheed Martin and retiring again. His dedication to his work was eclipsed only by his devotion to his family and his passions.

Norval is survived by his beloved wife of 54 years, Margie Chance Barnes, daughter, Patricia Barnes Wingate and her husband Wendell, son William "Bill" Barnes, grandchildren, Chelsea, Summer, Tiffany, Abigail, Samuel, Brooke, Mackenzie, and Callie, and great-grandchildren, Bella, Ellie, William, Evelyn, Madilyn, Ben, Corrie, Naomi, Londyn, Charlotte, Remi, and Itali. He was predeceased by his parents and sister Vicki Barnes Brophy.

A man of many interests, Norval enjoyed the thrills of NASCAR and drag racing, the tranquility of woodworking, and the joy of traveling. But the simplest pleasures brought him the most happiness – especially the time spent with  his wife and family.
