Norman Bains

Norman Bains passed away peacefully on October 2, 2014 just 6 days shy of his 86th birthday. He was born at Semans, Sask. on October 8, 1928 to Art and Meta Bains, the youngest of 6 children.

He is survived by one sister, Elizabeth (Beth) Foley of Coronach Sask., and one brother, Richard (Dick) Bains of Govan, Sask.

Norm will be sadly missed by his wife of 62 years, Verna (Chatterson) Bains; his two sons: Greg (Pam) Bains of Saskatoon, and Warren (Carmen) Bains of West Kelowna; his two daughters: Brenda (Lyle) Bodman of Saskatoon, and Sandra (Brian) Thompson of Saskatoon; his six grandchildren: Lauren Bains, Adam Bains, Michael (Anna) Thompson, Mason Thompson, Natasha (Jeff) Hritzuk, Kristina (Mike) MacKenzie, and Alex (Tasha) Bains; and his four great-grandchildren: Kayla and Danika Hritzuk, and Emma and Will MacKenzie. Norm was first and foremost a family man, and eagerly anticipated visits from all of his family.

Norm farmed at Semans, Lucky Lake (where he was also a Federal Grain buyer), and then for 25 years at Wolseley. Following retirement he enjoyed woodworking, playing pool, and visiting with friends and neighbors on coffee row. He was proud to have been a member of the Wolseley Lions Club for over 30 years. Norm spent his final 16 months under the kind and wonderful care of the staff of Stensrud Lodge, Saskatoon.
