It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of our Dad, Grandpa, Great Grandpas and Life Partner on Friday, March 29, 2024 at St. Paul’s Hospital with family at his side at the age of 84.
Norm is survived by his life partner Brenda Erickson, his daughters; Terry Patton of Edmonton, Angela Riley (Vic) of Martensville and Gaylene Nemeth (Brent of Winnipeg; his grandchildren Hilton and Senate Patton of Edmonton, Vincent (Megan) and Mitchel Riley of Saskatoon and Kiana and Cody Nemeth of Winnipeg; his great grandchildren Jace, Madeleine and Hannah Riley.
Norm was predeceased by his father Philip Rathwell and his grandsons Cooper Nemeth and Boston Patton.
Norm was born on December 25, 1939 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was an only child raised by his father on a farm in Lockport, Manitoba. He developed a strong work ethic which led to owning a successful business in Winnipeg and Saskatoon. After an early retirement he was able to spend time fishing, which he loved and the Casino where he had many friends.
He always cared about the wellbeing of his family and was always there to offer advice. We will miss his guidance and support.
At Norms request there will be no funeral service.
The family would like to thank the staff at St. Paul’s Hospital for their compassion and kindness.
Arrangements entrusted to Thea Katchmar
