Norman Leroy Seamans

The passing of Norman Leroy Seamans, husband of the late Leona M. (Norman) Seamans, of St. George NB occurred on October 9, 2017 at the Ridgewood Veteran's Wing, Saint John NB. Born in St. George NB on July 31, 1922, he was a son of the late Joshua and Bertha (Brown) Seamans. A loving father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Norman is survived by sons: Donald "Herb" (Nancy) Seamans of Rothesay NB and Kenny (Cindy) Seamans of St. George NB; three grandchildren: Josh, Thomas and Elizabeth Seamans; five great-grandchildren; several nieces, nephews and cousins. In addition to his parents and wife, Norman was predeceased by his brothers: Hazen, Harry, Lorne, Keith and William; and sisters: Stella Knowles, Anita Drysdale and Edith Richardson. He was the last surviving member of his immediate family.

Norman was a veteran of the Second World War. He was a longtime member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #40 in St. George and a lifetime member of the St. George Curling Club. He had served as a town councillor for 10 years and had previously held the title as "Citizen of the Year" in St. George. In his spare time, he enjoyed gardening and square dancing. Norman will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

As keeping with Norman's wishes there will be no visiting. A private family graveside service will be held at the St. George Rural Cemetery at a later date. In Norman's memory, donations to a charity of the donor's choice would be greatly appreciated by the family.
