Norman C. Roeder, Sr.

Norman C. Roeder, Sr, 89, of Norwalk and formerly of Monroeville passed away Thursday evening, February 12, 2026, at the Providence Care Center, Sandusky after a long, wonderful life.

He was born September 26, 1936, in Norwalk and was a 1954 graduate of Monroeville High School where he played basketball. Norman was a U.S. Army Veteran serving from 1957-1959, stationed in Colorado, California, and Hawaii. He was employed as a meatcutter at various meat packing companies prior to his retirement.

All his life, Norm’s #1 priority was his wife Pat and their 6 children.  He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and great, great grandfather.  Norm was an unassuming, thoughtful man, a positive role model, and in his quiet ways, he had great influence upon the lives of those who were fortunate enough to know him. 

In addition, Norm enjoyed the outdoors, especially the Colorado mountains. Over the years, he and his wife, whom he called Patsy, made several trips to see as many corners of Colorado as feasible.  He greatly enjoyed nature – feeding the birds, vegetable gardening, and especially trees.  He was in his element when planting and nurturing his trees.   He also loved working in the yard, playing cards, watching sports, meeting his classmates for coffee, and spending time with his beloved family.  Norm was happiest when he was surrounded by his family and knowing that all were safe and sound.  He was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Monroeville.

He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Patricia (Brown) Pisarsky Roeder; six children, Lynn (Bryan Deschamps) Roeder Child of Findlay; Nancy (Ken) Brown and Susie (Ken) Didion Wilhelm, both of Monroeville; Debi (Steve) Teague of Bucyrus; Norm (Lynne) Roeder, Jr., of Delaware, OH; and Diane (Scott) Stiert of Milan; fifteen grandchildren, fourteen great grandchildren, plus one on the way, three great, great grandchildren; and one sister, Ruth (Bob) Brown of Milan.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Hilda (Siesel) Roeder; and two sons-in-laws, James W. Child and Dennis J. Didion. A private family celebration of life will be held with burial with his parents in St. Joseph Cemetery, Monroeville, OH.
