Norman Julius Paasch was born November 23, 1925 on the family farm near Scribner to William and Emma Haye Paasch. He grew up in Scribner, was baptized and confirmed at St. John’s Lutheran Church on the County Line, and was a 1943 graduate of Scribner High School. On August 27, 1961, he married Marilyn Hoegermeyer in Hooper. The couple farmed and raised their family north of Scribner, retiring to Snyder in 1999 and then West Point in 2007. Norman had been an active member of St. John’s Lutheran Church on the County Line, serving on various boards and singing in the church choir, St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Scribner and currently St. Paul Lutheran Church in West Point. He truly enjoyed the outdoors, his farming, fishing and hunting with his sons, and traveling. Norman will be remembered as a wonderful dancer, a doting husband, father and grandfather. His persistent optimism and good nature will also be missed. Survivors include his wife, Marilyn, of West Point, daughter Carol (Gary) Hartman of Goodyear AZ, sons Dale (Sharon) of Wisner, David (Karin) of Scribner, grandchildren Andrew and Dylan Hartman, Kendra Paasch, Zachary and Claire Paasch. He is preceded in death by his parents, sisters Dorothy Meyer and Arlene Wapelhorst, and brother Wilbur Paasch.
