      LEONARD "NORM" NANCE
      Carlisle
      NORM’S GONE FISHING
       Leonard Norman Nance, 65, died Friday, January 16, at Methodist Medical Center. Norm was born in Adel to Leonard and Mildred Sheaffer Nance. After graduating from Adel High School, he attended MacPherson College in Kansas. He then enrolled in a mechanic’s apprentice program. Norm worked for Polk County Road Maintenance until he was hired as a mechanic for UPS, where he worked for 15 years until a spinal-cord injury in 1988. He married Sylvia Farrell in 1964. They had three daughters, Stacy, Rhonda and Tara.
       Norm loved farming, horses, hunting, fishing, gardening, the Iowa Hawkeyes, and spending time with his family. Despite his disability, Norm remained fiercely independent, remaining on his 20 acre farm in rural Carlisle.
       Norm is survived by three daughters, Stacy (Brett) Piatt or Pleasant Hill, Rhonda (Jon) Johnson of Johnston, and Tara (Ted) Durant of Fredericksburg, VA. Also surviving are nine grandchildren, Dana, Chris and Danielle Piatt, Nicolas, Lukas and Kathryn Johnson, Samantha, Teddy and Camilla Durant; his brother, Larry Nance; and two sisters, Jan (Tom) O’Dell and Carolyn (Dan ) Porter of Florida and a host of nieces, nephews and friends.
       He is preceded in death by his parents, Leonard and Mildred Nance.
       Norm adored his daughters and grandchildren, who brought him much love and joy. He will be missed for his sense of humor and ability to make everyone around him laugh.
       Visitation will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, January 21, 2009, at Hamilton’s Funeral Home, 605 Lyon St. A Celebration of Life Service will follow the visitation at 7 p.m. at the funeral home. Memorial contributions may be directed toward Crime Victim Services of Polk County.
