Norma Beryl Pritchard (nee Pellas)

12th November 1939 -14th September 2021

 
Our dear mum passed peacefully in our arms on Tuesday 14 September. 
 
After a life full of love and happiness, married 58 years to her much loved husband Doug,
will be so missed by children Trudi, Tony & Sonya,
with her 6 broken hearted grandchildren Bryce, Jarryd, Luke, Karlee, Hayley & Demi. 
 

It is sad to walk the road alone,

instead of side by side,

but to all, there comes a moment,

when the ways of life divide.

You gave me years of happiness,

then came sorrow and tears,

but you left me beautiful memories,

I will treasure through the years.

Your loving husband Doug.

 

Mum, our Ma, 

We cannot imagine life without you, so you will never be far away. 

You bought me into this world, and gave your life to me, and I gave you my three children who absolutely adore you,

and you shared a special bond with all three. 

You supported us, never judged and showed love and kindness every day. 

A wonderful role model, I only hope I can be the woman you were. 

Night night mum, have a good sleep, see you in the morning.

Love Trudi. 

Our Ma always,

love Bryce, Jarryd and Karlee. 

and your best little mate Gracie x

Mum, our Ma. 

 

You meant so much to all of us,
you were a very special part of our lives,
your heart was kind and true,
the love you gave the way you cared,
we could always count on you. 
Tenderly we treasure the past,
with memories that will always last.
In our hearts you’ll always stay,
loved and remembered every day. 
Tony and Sonya, Luke and Jess, Hayley and Lachie, Demi and Brodie.

 

A private family service was held for Norma in Castlemaine on Friday 17th September

    I am so sad to read of Norma’s passing. I spent time with her when she was helping out at CHIRP when I worked there and always enjoyed catching up with her afterwards and having a ‘chat’. She was a lovely person. My thoughts are with all of her family at this time. Marilyn Bennet.

  10. Peter Bower says:

    It was an honour and a privilege to have known both Norma and Doug, primarily through the Wesley Hill Football Club, but also because of life in Castlemaine in general.
    Always at the games, cheering their Grand Children on and earning the admiration and respect of all.
    Deepest sympathy to Doug, Trudi, Tony and their families.
    A part of life in Castlemaine has sadly slipped away, but admired and remembered by Peter Bower and family.
