Roy A. Norman of Warsaw, Indiana passed away at his residence surrounded by family at 8:20 p.m. on Friday, November 18, 2022 at the age of 92.

He was born on May 4, 1930 in Macy, Indiana to Judel (Aulspaugh) Norman and Jesse Franklin Norman. On July 21, 1951 he married the love of his life, Dixie Dian Harris. They were blessed with five children and shared everything in their lives together celebrating birthdays, holidays, graduations, weddings and everything in between before Dixie passed away right before their 56th wedding anniversary on July 9, 2007.

Roy was a lifetime resident of Kosciusko County, Indiana. He graduated from Gilead High School in Gilead, Indiana and after high school he enlisted and proudly served in the U.S. Army from August 1951 until his honorable discharge in August of 1953. He was a hardworking farmer since 1963 overseeing the family farm for 61 years while at the same time working as a truck driver for Warren Trucking. When he finally "retired" he still kept busy doing one thing or another and enjoyed being a member of the American Legion Post #49 and the V.F.W. #1126 both of Warsaw as well as the Moose Lodge of Warsaw. Everyone that knew Roy knew that he loved to play a good game of euchre with anyone willing to play with him, he was part of a pool league and enjoyed a good day golfing when he was able to. Roy was a wonderful father, loved being a grandfather to his many grandchildren and was a great friend to many who will be dearly missed.

He leaves behind two sons, Roger Norman (Silver Lake, Indiana); Brian (Pauline) Norman (Leesburg, Indiana); two daughters, Susan (Thomas) Stephens (Francesville, Indiana); Laura Hill (Claypool, Indiana) and her partner, Craig Smith; ten grandchildren, twenty-four great-grandchildren, and eight great-great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, wife, daughter, Linda Hile, three grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild and his companion of the last ten years, Elaine Nine.
