Norma LEWIS Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our mother, Norma (Nana), on April 25, 2019 in Victoria, B.C. at the age of 97. Norma is predeceased by her husband Kenneth Lewis and is survived by her children Sharon (Alan), Cathy (Chris), Brian (Leslie) and grandchildren Sydney, Elizabeth, Kira, Alex, Madeline, and Matthew. As well, Norma is predeceased by her partner Gerry Cranstoun. Also left to cherish her memory are niece Diane, nephew Jim, stepchildren Jean, Sheila and Roy, three step-grandchildren and four step-great grandchildren. Norma grew up in Turtleford, Saskatchewan. She moved to Vancouver at the age of 21 and never looked back. For the last 57 years Norma has called Victoria home. She worked for the Federal Government and after retiring, volunteered for 25 years with Sendial at Thrifty Foods. Her passion was family and friends, travel, and her garden. The family would like to extend sincere gratitude to the staff at Clover Point Lodge for the wonderful care and kindness they showed to Mum and all the family. A service will be held on Thursday, May 23 at 1:00 pm at Oak Bay United Church, 1355 Mitchell Street, Victoria, B.C. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Heart and Stroke or BC SPCA.

My deepest sympathies to the family and particularly Sharon, Cathy and Brian. I have such fond memories of chats with Norma over the years. She was such an upbeat and positive person. I will always be grateful to the friendship she nurtured with my mother. She was kind, thoughtful, smart and fun. I have always been thankful for the kindness Norma showed my mother over their long friendship. I am very sorry I was unable to make the memorial. It would have been great to see you all and share stories and memories. Doug Branter

Norma was an amazing person who volunteered countless hours for the Sendial program at Thrifty Foods. She will be missed by many people as she touched so many lives. Norma loved helping people and it showed. We will miss you Norma.

Nana and I ended up sitting next to each other at countless family events over my liftetime. Having a larger age gap between most other family members, I usually couldn't relate to the conversation. My favourite thing in recent years would be Nana leaning over to ask if I knew what anyone was talking about; I would say no, and she would wink at me and say me either. You will be missed Nana, thanks for being such a wonderful presence in our lives.

I met Norma thru Sendial. Aileen Batting got me into Sendial when Pru Cunningham and Alex Campbell ran things. Norma was the Thursday day captain and was a much valued and appreciated volunteer. Lovely lady. RIP Norma.
