Norma leaves behind two children; her devoted son, Pierre (Tammy McAughey) and grandchildren, Justin (Karen Hough) and Jordan Sangoi and Amanda Ohashi. Her loving daughter, Yvette Cybulskie (Ric) and granddaughters Cara-Mae Hackett (Tony O’Neill) and Leah MacLeod.

Norma was predeceased by her husband of 59 years, Eligio Sangoi in June 2013.

Born in Kitchener on July 11, 1923 to parents Leo L. Wadel and Johanna (nee Goetz). Norma grew up as an only child but had many cousins and friends over the years and will be missed by many.

She was a devoted member of many choirs over the years including, the KW Philharmonic, St. Joseph’s (Stratford), St. Mary’s (Kitchener), St Louis and St. Michael’s (Waterloo) and St. Agatha.

Norma was quick to share a memory, a song, or a drink with those who knew her. She also enjoyed card games and cribbage and in her past created a number of beautiful oil paintings.

Our family would like to especially thank the staff at Derbecker’s Heritage House for their exemplary care of Norma.
