Norm was a good natured, fun loving man with a wonderful sense of humor. He always had a new joke ready to share with you. He also loved to cook and enjoyed countless hours in the kitchen or backyard on his Traeger barbecue creating and cooking great meals for the family to enjoy.
Norm was a patient, kind, loving husband and father who will be deeply missed. He leaves behind Patty, his wife of 48 years; his two children, Michael Goehring (Kimberly) and Kristin Shamblin (Joshua); his five grandchildren, Jacob, Ava and Hudson Goehring; Caleb and Ella Shamblin; his brother Fred Goehring and his sister Sharon Anderson.
The family would like to give a special thank you to all the nurses and doctors at St. Agnes Hospital, especially Dr. Susan Logan who went above and beyond with her care and attention to Norm.
