Born on June 10, 1947, Norman lived a life marked by faith, service, and devotion to his family. A proud United States Marine Corps Vietnam War veteran, he carried the values of honor, courage, and commitment throughout his life. The Marine Corps motto, Semper Fidelis (“Always Faithful”), reflected the way he lived—with unwavering loyalty to his family, his country, and his convictions.
Norman was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Daisy Mae Pavlovsky. He is survived by his daughter, Tasha Unruh; his son, Anton Pavlovsky; and his cherished grandchildren, Sarah, Thomas, Gabriel, and Addeline, all of whom brought him tremendous pride and joy.
An outdoorsman at heart, Norman loved camping, hunting, and fishing. Whether around a campfire, in the woods, or on the water, he found peace in God’s creation and treasured the time spent sharing those experiences with family and friends. He will be remembered for his quiet strength, steadfast character, generous heart, and the example he set through a life of service, hard work, and love for those closest to him.
Family and friends are invited to celebrate Norman’s life at a Funeral Mass on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, 834 S. Orange Blossom Trail, Apopka, Florida. A committal service with military honors will follow at 1:00 p.m. at Woodlawn Memorial Park & Cremation Gardens in Gotha, Florida.
“Well done, good and faithful servant… Enter into the joy of your Lord.” — Matthew 25:23
Honoring Norman Pavlovsky’s Legacy
In lieu of flowers, our family has created this memorial fund to honor the life and legacy of our father, Norman Pavlovsky.
Norman and his beloved wife, Daisy, were proud and devoted members of the Orlando Moose Lodge #766 for many years. They believed deeply in the importance of fellowship, service, and helping others. The friendships they built and the support they found through their Moose family meant so much to them.
All funds received through this memorial will be donated to the Orlando Moose Lodge #766 to support its charitable work and community outreach, continuing the spirit of generosity that Norman and Daisy lived by.
Thank you for honoring Norman’s memory and helping us carry forward the values that were so important to him. Your kindness, prayers, and support during this time mean more to our family than words can express.
