Norman R. Voter
RUMFORD – Norman R. Voter, 75, died Saturday, Aug. 6, 2022, at the Maine Medical Center in Portland following a long battle against ALS. He was a resident of Franklin Street in Rumford.
Born in Rumford, on Feb. 11, 1947, he was a son of Colin and Annie (Knox) Voter. Norman was raised in Peru and was a graduate of Stephens High School in Rumford. He served in the US Marines as a Sergeant from 1967 to 1971 during the Vietnam War. He worked his entire career for Boise Cascade Paper Mill in Rumford in the wood room and as a “Water Wizard” until his retirement.
Norman was a lifetime member of the American Legion and the VFW and was a 50-year member of King Hiram Lodge. He loved sports especially the Boston teams. At the age of 18, Norman’s father died and he assumed a patriarchal role, helping his mother raise his six younger siblings. As his siblings grew and had children, Norman continued this role and was always there for his nieces and nephews. They all held “Brother Norman” or “Uncle Norman” in high esteem. Norman cherished his granddaughter Lauren and loved their time spent together reading stories.
