Obituary of Norman Henderson

Norman Henderson was born December 13, 1931 to Earl and Mary Henderson of Duvernay Alberta. He attended school in Duvernay and Fort Saskatchewan. While still in his teens he started working for the Canadian Exploration Company at Red Water and Peace River. Norm eventually transferred with the company to Edberg in 1952 where he met Irma Boden. Norm and Irma were married March 6, 1953 at Ferry Point Lutheran Church. Norm worked for Boden Brothers Construction until 1971 when they decided to start the Henderson Trucking Company. In 1975 the family moved to Camrose and eventually bought an acreage in 1985 on the outskirts of town. Norm and his boys hauled gravel and asphalt all over Alberta. An accident in 1995 ended Norm's trucking career and the decision was made to sell the trucks. The next year Norm and Irma sold the acreage and move into Camrose where they have resided for nineteen years.
