Carin Norman
Age 50 of Woodbury
Went home to heaven on August 18, 2021 after living 50 wonderful years and raising multiple children whom were the light of her life.
Carin was born to Harriet Rother on July 20, 1971 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Carin was later reborn on October 7, 1977 to Wally Abel, her father that she adored, and Harriet Abel. She started working at a young age trying to better her life and to help those around her. She graduated from Spring Lake Park Highschool in 1989 and went on to earn her Associates Degree leading to a career in the mortgage industry.
Carin met her husband, Joshua Norman in 2001 at the Grand Old Days festival in St. Paul while enjoying a G.B. Leighton concert. It was love at first sight and they were married on August 9, 2003. Carin went on to have two children, Finnian and Ruby and a step- daughter, Natalie. Her true joy in life was raising her children. To her there was no greater calling in life as guiding her children.
It would be wrong to say that Carin lost her battle because she never stopped fighting. No matter how sick she was, she was always determined. When anyone else would have broken, Carin stayed strong. Through her, we know what resilience and perseverance truly look like. There was no quit in Carin. Just because she is no longer here, it doesn’t mean she lost her fight.
Carin is survived by her husband Joshua and their children Finn and Ruby. They invite you to join them for a Memorial Service 11am Wednesday, August 25 at Crossroads Church, Woodbury Campus, 5900 Woodbury Drive, with a visitation gathering beginning at 10am and followed by burial at Evergreen Memorial Cemetery in Afton. All are welcome. Please make note, Woodbury Drive will be closed north of Crossroads Church.
