      It was described specifically or transcribed by them as "NORMA JOAN (DUBOIS) POIRIER; Born: Mar 16, 1939; March 16, 1939 – November 28, 2025; It is with profound sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Norma Poirier on November 28, 2025, in Winnipeg following a courageous battle with neuroendocr".ine cancer.

      Norma is predeceased by her beloved husband, Richard in 2007.

      She is survived and deeply missed by her devoted children, Lawrence (Lorie) and Pat (Bob); and her cherished grandchildren: Denise (BJ), Donald, Wesley, Melissa (Derek), Emily, Leslie (Jason), Shannon, and Robyn (Craig). She was a proud grandmother to great-grandchildren: Sophia, Alycia, Jenessa, Brennen, Taegan, Sean, Cullen, Tyson, Shane, Cooper, and Molly. She is also survived by and deeply missed by her brother Carl. Also, brother- in- law Don (Doreen), sister- in -law Millie, extended family and many good friends.

      The family would like to thank all the staff at the Grace Hospice for their kindness and compassion during a very hard time. We are forever grateful for all your hard work and dedication.

      As per Norma’s wishes, there will be no service. Interment will take place in the spring at the Elm Creek Cemetery next to her husband Richard in a private ceremony.


      Doyle’s Funeral Home in care of arrangements.

      -- As published in the Winnipeg Free Press on Dec 6, 2025

      ------------------

      Supplemental from the notice on the Doyle's Funeral Home site:

      She is survived and deeply missed by her devoted children, Lawrence (Lorie) and Pat (Bob); and her cherished grandchildren: Denise (BJ), Donald, Wesley, Melissa (Derek), Emily, Leslie (Jason), Shannon, and Robyn (Craig). She was a proud grandmother to great-grandchildren: Sophia, Alycia, Jenessa, Brennen, Taegan, Sean, Cullen, Tyson, Shane, Cooper, and Molly. She is also survived by and deeply missed by her brother Carl. Also brother- in- law Don (Doreen), sister- in- law Millie, extended family and many good friends.



      Norma was known for her strong work ethic and her ability to excel at everything she set her mind to. In 1963, she and Richard purchased their home in Winnipeg, where they raised their two children and nurtured lifelong friendships with neighbours. She spent many fulfilling years working at ARC Industries and Boeing before her retirement.



      Following their early retirements, Norma and Richard enjoyed many trips to British Columbia to visit family. They also spent countless memorable years creating a cherished "home away from home" at their seasonal campsite at Millers Campground.



      Norma’s dedication extended to her hobbies, most notably her spectacular garden. Norma was famous throughout the neighbourhood for her exceptional tomatoes, which she happily shared. Her vegetable gardens and flowers were known for growing lusher than anywhere else. Though her cooking was simple, it was enjoyed by many, with her matrimonial cake being a family favorite.



      An avid reader, Norma loved everything from Maeve Binchy to John Grisham, leaving behind an extensive library of around 1000 books to be read. Though quiet by nature, she possessed a wicked sense of humor and a memorable, contagious laugh. She enjoyed sharing a glass of wine with her daughter Pat, and martinis with friends Bob and Darlene and others that would just drop in for a visit, her door was always open. A talented craftswoman, she loved to knit and crochet, gifting countless pieces to family members that will be forever cherished. She leaves behind almost as much wool, as she does books.



      While some might have teased Norma for being frugal, she was always generous with her family and friends. She was an extraordinary mom, wife, sister, grandma, great-grandma, and friend, and her presence will be missed more than words can express.
