Norman Howard Blackburn

CUYAHOGA FALLS - Norman Howard Blackburn, 88, formerly of Cuyahoga Falls, went to be with the Lord on July 15, 2025.

He was born in Helen, West Virginia, and had lived in Cuyahoga Falls for 61 years. He was a member of the First Baptist Church of Tallmadge. Norm was very active in the church, serving as deacon, a Sunday school teacher for 35 years and working with the youth group for 15 years.

He loved being outside working in his garden or fishing. He was always willing to help someone in need and was a phone call away. Norm also had a great sense of humor and was often up to shenanigans!

Norm was a proud veteran of the U.S Army, and was employed at the Brecksville VA Hospital, retiring after 49 years of service.

He and his wife Nancy set a beautiful example by being married just shy of 65 years.

Norman Howard Blackburn will be forever missed by his family.
