Norma June Neill

June 20, 1933 – May 24, 2023

Passed away peacefully in North Vancouver on May 24, 2023. Born in Toronto, Ontario, Norma and her family moved to various places in Eastern Canada before settling in BC in 1980.

Norma was beloved by family and friends alike. Norma was the mother of two sons, and was an exceptional wife and mother. She cared deeply for her family, friends, and neighbours. She was always the first to offer to help and was known far and wide for her kind heart and care and attention to all things at home.

Norma loved flowers and gardening and for years played key roles in flower arranging clubs. She volunteered for charities such as the Heart Foundation and Cancer Society. Norma also loved travelling and saw many countries of the world that way. Trips to Japan to visit her son and daughter-in-law were annual highlights of her year. She loved music and would always join in on a song. Her laughter was infectious and always made those around her feel a sense of warmth and lightness.

Norma was predeceased by her husband of over 50 years, Walter Neill. She is survived by sons Lawrence (Janet) and Geoff (Keiko) and grandchildren Amelia and Warner.

A Memorial Service will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, May 31 at Hollyburn Funeral Home (1807 Marine Drive, West Vancouver). In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the United Way (www.uwlm.ca).
