Norman Hughes Rowe

He lived in northern Virginia, where he attended school before graduating from Brigham Young University. Norman served in the U S Army during the years 1967-1969. He was stationed at Fort Belvoir.

Norman married Ginger Brooks in 1976 and later divorced. While they lived in Texas he built custom homes. He would work on many of them and even did the landscaping.

Norman had a quick wit. You never knew if he was telling the truth or exaggerating. He enjoyed bantering with CNAs and RNs at Cascades of Riverwalk. His favorite person was Joelle, his RN. She showed love and compassion to him. There were several CNAs who he really appreciated. He liked to teach the new ones how to do their job properly.

Norman was smart. He kept up with world affairs. He was very opinionated and could drive you crazy while talking about politics.

He would fight for injustice and always helped the underdog.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Chauncey Oswald Rowe and Anna Blanche Hughes; and his older brother, Gary Lee Rowe.

He is survived by his three children, Brooke (Carissa) Rowe, Brooklynn and Max; Britinee (Eric) Branham, Brayton (Candice) Rowe. All reside in Texas. He is also survived by his sisters, Karen (Jim McBride) of South Jordan; and Kathy Schow of West Jordan; Many nieces and nephews, cousins and his sister-in-law Michael Rowe (Gary)

Special thanks to his cousins, Ricky Hughes and JP Hughes, who showed acceptance and love to Cory; his friend, Norman Mills, who called him everyday; and his nephews, Jimmy McBride and Josh Rowe, who would listen to his opinions of politics, construction and cars during long distance phone calls. He loved hearing from his son, Brooke. They talked about construction and many other subjects during their frequent phone calls. He loved and admired his grandchildren and their successes. He wished the best for his children and was proud of their careers. He loved them all.

We would like to thank the family and friends who stood by Norman. He had many struggles throughout his life and you had to know about them to really know him. Hopefully, the take away would be you learned at least one thing he told you that would help you in your life.

His favorite saying was "It is what it is".

Norman was laid to rest next to his parents at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park, 3401 S Highland Drive, Millcreek, UT.
