NORMAN ADELBERG Peacefully, on May 12, 2018, our beloved husband, father and Poppa, Norman Adelberg, passed away at the Maples Personal Care Home, at 80 years of age. Norman leaves to mourn his wife Cheryl, children, Gail (Larry Hamilton), Marla (Fraser Aronovitch) and Roth (Candace), his grandchildren, Andrew (Chelsea), Adam, Lee, Ben, Reese and Brooke, and his great-granddaughter Emerson. He also leaves his stepdaughters, Allison (Pete Savoie) and Jennifer (John Kane), step-grandsons, Larry, Owen and Patrick, his sisters-in-law, Nadia Burke and Susan Petterson, and numerous nephews, nieces and friends. He was predeceased by his first wife Lesia, his parents, parents-in-law, brother Gordie, brothers-in-law, Walter Dowhan and Edward Burke, sister-in-law Simone Dowhan, and step-grandson Michael Kane. Next to family, Norm was most proud of Diamond Wax, the company that he and Lesia founded in 1966. He enjoyed travelling and spent many winters in Hawaii. He excelled at bowling and in 2011 was inducted into the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame as a member of the Canadian Mixed Team Champions. The family would like to thank the caring staff at the Maples for their kindness and compassion. Funeral services were held on May 14, 2018 at the Etz Chayim Synagogue. Pallbearers were Lee and Ben Aronovitch, Raif Adelberg, Grant Goldberg, Brian Gertenstein and John Kane. In lieu of flowers, donations are gratefully accepted to the Parkinson Canada Winnipeg Office or the Norman and Lesia Adelberg Scholarship Fund at the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba.

Condolences & Memories (4 entries)

  • May Uncle Norman rest in the Bosom of Abraham. Mother heard from a mutual friend only yesterday but I thought it's never too late to send condolences. I have fond memories of Uncle Norman and Lesia and the family. Norman was always kind an full of life. We are proud that he was the Jewish side of our Ukrainian clan. Mom often spoke about Norman working in uncle Dowhanyk's store, back in the day. Auntie Lesia was an angel of light and we will always miss her. When Norman and Roth used to come to the Ukrainian Sportsman's Dinner, Sammy Katz said: "Father, you gotta explain to me how you and Norman are related!" Although it's four years since they sat shiva for him, I will do it now in my own Ukrainian way. Vichnaya pamyat (eternal memory)! - Posted by: Prof. Gerald, Irene and Rev. Athanasius McVay (nephew) on: Jun 18, 2022
