The family of Norman (Norm/Sonny) Wetsch are sad to announce his passing on July 26, 2024, at the age of 71 with his family by his side.
Norm was born November 3, 1952, the second son in a family of seven children born to Frank and Christine Wetsch. Norm was a hard-working man fixing and maintaining elevators across East Central Alberta for 40+ Years starting at United Grain Growers, Agricore United and finally Viterra where he retired in 2015 as he yearned for the days of lazing around and fixing everything his wife (boys) broke.
Family was everything to Norm, he instilled a strong work ethic and family values in all four of his children. He was a man of few words unless you were doing something he didn’t agree with and then he would go on and on about it. He thought he was quite funny and loved to joke and tease, especially his grand and great grandchildren – he even enjoyed a great big bear hug or cuddle every now and then. He showed his love for his family by helping them build and fix anything and everything from full homes to renovations, decks, dirt bikes, peddle bikes, lawnmowers, toys and the list goes on and on. His passion was building, and the yard proves that with the multitude of sheds.
In 2010 the travel bug hit, and Norm travelled to Mexico, Cuba and Jamaica almost yearly with Maryann and the family.
Norm was a proud Husband, Dad, Grandpa and Great-Grandpa. He leaves behind his wife of 45 years, Maryann; daughter Marsha (Jason) Ertman; sons Jason (Nicole); Michael (Kim) and David. granddaughters: Heather, Bryanna and Katelyn; grandsons: Alexander, Zach; and Barrett.; great-granddaughters: Macie-Jae, Averley and Paisley; brother Peter (Leslie) Wetsch, sisters Gloria Lecopoy and Dora (Dean) Schacker; sisters in-law: Shirley Wetsch and Sheila Scharmann ; brother in-law Rudy (Monika) Scharmann. He also leaves many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.
He was predeceased by his parents Frank and Christine, brother Brian Wetsch; sisters Mary Anne Wolokoff and Caroline Fillinger, his Godson Jody Lecopy, niece Rhonda Lecopoy and brothers-in-law Fred Scharmann, Larry Lecopoy, Johnny Wolokoff and Tony Fillinger.

Thank you to the Cross Cancer Institute, Camrose ER team, as well as Dr. Abdullah, the palliative care team and all the other doctors and supports who helped along the way.
