Norman Ewell Obituary
Norman, 82, returned home to his loving Father in Heaven on April 24, 2012.
He was born in Price, Utah, August 3, 1929, and moved thirteen times before joining the Air Force at age 17. He married Donna Rae Powell January 26, 1950, (sealed Sept. 21, 1968). They had three kids of their own, Norman (Dee), Terry and Connie, and Sandra from Donna's previous marriage. The family spent time in California, Idaho and Utah. His wife Donna passed away December 2, 1995 after nearly 46 years of marriage. Ten years later, he met and married Mary Adell O'Grady while working in the Jordan River Temple. They subsequently moved to California where he later passed away due to complications of congestive heart failure. Norman had a special spark about him and was loved by all who knew him. He was quick witted and enjoyed teasing his grandchildren. There are many outside of his own family that embraced him as 'Grandpa'. He was a gifted craftsman and loved being busy with a project. He was a jack-of-all-trades and did whatever was required to provide for his family.
Norman is survived by his wife Mary Adell and her very large loving family. Siblings: Barbara (Kenneth) Davies, Walter (Florence) Ewell and Harriett (Ramon) Swapp. Children: Sandra Porisky, Norman (Caroline) Ewell, Terry (Dana) Ewell and Connie (Dave) Christensen. He had 15 grandchildren plus 23 great grandchildren with one on the way and he loved them all. His family has peace knowing he was a great man who loved the Lord and His church. Norman will be buried next to his loving wife Donna in West Valley City, Utah.
