August 27, 1944 – October 17, 2025
Donald "Don" Norman Sr., age 81, of Dagsboro, Delaware, passed away peacefully on October 17, 2025.
Born on August 27, 1944, in Chester, Pa, Don grew up in Linwood, PA, where he built a lifelong career in interior renovations. After retiring in 2012, Don enjoyed boating, fishing, golfing, gardening, and playing many games of darts with friends. He loved cruising around on his golf cart, morning walks, and most of all sharing a little friendly banter with his friends along the way. His humor, independence, and love for life will be dearly missed.
He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Sharon Norman, and his daughter, Denise Norman. He is survived by his sons, Donald Norman Jr. and Dennis Norman; his grandchildren, Sarah Rocci, Jacqui McGuire, Keri Vergara, and Victoria Dower; and his great-grandchildren, Nicholas Rocci IV, Evelyn Rocci, Whitney McGuire, Carter McGuire, Jordyn McGuire, Emily Vergara, Robyn Dower, and Clayton Dower.
A private viewing will be held for immediate family at this time.
