Norman Ray Pawlowski

July 27, 2019

Norman Pawlowski

It is with extreme sadness that the family of Norman Pawlowski announces his passing on July 27, 2019 at the age of 68 years.

He was predeceased by his parents John and Myrtle Pawlowski; in-laws William and Daisy Melnyk; brothers-in-law Johnny, Allan and Andy Melnyk,  and Daniel Selensky;  nephews Darren Wiesner and Darcy Selensky. Norm leaves to mourn his wife of 43 years, Joyce; son Jarred (Candice) Everett and Reighynn; daughter Jenna and Zander and his fur-baby Meesha; sister Marianne Stadnyk (Henry); sisters-in-law Marion Selensky, Elizabeth (Hubert) Wiesner, Grace Melnyk, Sylvia (Lawrence) Muchowski and their families.  

At Norm’s request there will be no funeral service. A private family interment will be held at a later date. Friends so wishing may make contributions to the Canadian Cancer Society in Norm’s memory.

Norm grew up on the family farm in Wynyard, Saskatchewan. Farming was one of his many passions. He continued to farm the land while being employed full-time at the Co-op Refinery in Regina. He retired from the refinery after 31 years. This work ethic was instilled in his children, teaching them the value of hard work.

Norm enjoyed the outdoors, whether that was camping, boating, hiking, biking, gardening or walking his fur-babies. He passed on this love of nature and travelling to his children and grandchildren. Most recently, through a family cruise to Alaska.

Norm spent many hours volunteering for Jarred’s and Jenna’s events. Most commonly, he was known for being a good cook for Beavers, Cubs, Jenna’s Grade 8 camping trip, Jarred’s air cadet camps and many Mosaics. 

Norms’ greatest joy was his family. Throughout the years, he lived for the time spent watching his children and grandchildren excel in their many activities. His proudest moments were while watching them Ukrainian dance. This brought much pride and joy as this was a continuation of their Ukrainian heritage.
