Norton “Woody” Edward Wood
October 10, 1922 – March 27, 2017
At 96 years old, Norton
“Woody” Edward Wood was
still “pretty good for an old
man,” always the fi rst to crack
a joke or ask for a second
helping of dessert. On March
27, he passed away after living
a long, memory fi lled life.
Born to William Franklin
Wood and Mary Maude
Coleman of Missouri on
October 10, 1922, Norton
was the second youngest of
seven siblings. The Wood
family moved to Oregon
when Norton was still a child,
so young his relatives like to
tease that he learned to walk
in a covered wagon. It had,
much earlier, been converted
to a trailer which they towed.
On December 19, 1941,
Norton
married
Bertha
Ellen Loomis in Vancouver,
Washington before leaving to
serve in the Timberwolves of
the 104th Infantry Division.
He carried a BAR and would
later quip about the irony of
giving “the heaviest weapon to
the smallest guy in the unit”.
While serving in Germany, he
earned the Purple Heart with
an Oak Leaf Cluster.
Norton
and
Bertha
eventually settled in Keizer,
Oregon, where they raised
their three children: James
Edward Wood, Stephen Lynn
Wood and Elaine Marie
Raleigh. They spent many
happy years enjoying their
family, which grew to include
fi ve grandchildren and eight
great grandchildren, until
Bertha’s passing in 2002.
Norton spent the majority
of his career working in
agriculture,
serving
as
warehouse
foreman
and
fi eldman for Dessert Seed
Co./ Arco Seed Co. He loved
spending time outdoors in his
free time camping, hunting
and fi shing. Norton was a
talented woodworker and
spent many hours playing
cards and listening to music
with his friends and family.
Community was extremely
important to Norton and
he served many years as
assistant chief of the Brooks
Fire Department. He was an
active member of the Keizer
Elks and, in his later years, the
Salem-Keizer Senior Center.
Norton was the last of
his siblings: George, Frank,
Claude, Dolly, Grace and
Dwight. He is survived by his
children James and Elaine, and
all his grandchildren. They
will fondly remember their
beloved “Papa” for his sense of
humor, genuine kindness and
warm, lasting hugs.
If you would like to join the
family in celebrating Norton’s
life, they invite you to attend a
small gathering at the Salem-
Keizer Senior Center from 2
to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April
6. There will, of course, be
apple pie and cookies. In lieu
of fl owers, the family would
prefer you donate to the
Salem-Keizer Senior Center.

near and more distant future
