Norman Pratt Obituary

Norman R. Pratt

Norman R. Pratt, 95, of Dunkirk and formerly of Vanlue, died at 4:40 p.m. Friday, July 12, 2024, at Blanchard Valley Hospital, Findlay.

He was born March 5, 1929, in Vanlue, to Charles S. and Annitta (Kiser) Pratt. He married Doris Jean Bayless on Sept. 30, 1949, and she preceded him in death Nov. 13, 2002. He later married Helen Isenbarger and she also preceded him in death.

Norman is survived by his son, Bruce A. Pratt of St. Petersburg, Florida; granddaughter, Alyssa (Robert) Lewison of St. Petersburg, Florida; and great-grandchildren, Ava Lewison and Landin Lewison.

He was also preceded in death by his parents; brother, Raymond L. Pratt; and sister, Charlene L. Baum.

Norman retired from Centrex Corporation. He was someone that could fix anything, a master electrician, and an accomplished wood worker, as he loved spending time in his shop. He was an avid walker and known for such in the communities where he resided. Norman actively lived his faith out as an avid Christian throughout his life.
