With great sorrow, the family of Norma Mildred Campbell would like to announce that Norma passed away in the Pasqua Hospital in Regina, SK on Tuesday, February 12th, 2019, at the age of 79 years, following medical complications.
Norma was born in Foam Lake, SK on July 8th, 1939 to Margaret Gudrun (Narfason) and Edward Chapman (Ted) Campbell. She was predeceased by her parents; sister, Joan Kerr; brother-in-law, Bob Kerr; and sister-in-law, Diane Campbell. Norma is survived by her brothers: Tom (Faye), Doug (Fran), and Don Campbell; daughter, Sherrie (Neil) Holmes; grandson, Erik (Rachel); son, Chris Olafson (Shelley); grandchildren, Carson and Kiana; the father of her children, Garry Olafson; her spouse, Lorne Jackson; and step-children: Allan, Rena (John) Park, Jeremy, and Tara Hamilton; as well as many beloved nieces and nephews.
Nothing was more important to Norma than her family. She was always so very proud of her kids and grandchildren and although there was great distance, it never felt that way. She ensured that everybody stayed connected via frequent phone calls and more recently, Facetime. Her visits were always filled with home cooked meals, wonderful and hilarious conversation, far too many treats, and countless card games accompanied by tea. Norma had such a quick wit and great sense of humor. A kind, caring and compassionate woman who always looked out for those in need. There are so many things that Norma did in her lifetime, so many she touched, and so many ways in which she will be remembered. Her life lessons and her love will forever live on in the hearts of her family and friends. We are so blessed to have such wonderful memories of her and will hold her close. She will live in our hearts and minds…always. Till we meet again…Rest easy.
In keeping with Norma’s wishes, a Private Family Service will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family would ask that people who knew Norma perform an act of kindness in her honor. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. James Murdock, Funeral Director 306-693-4550 www.moosejawfuneralhome.com
