In Loving Memory of Norman Perry

1954 – 2026

Norman Joseph Perry of Lower Newcastle, New Brunswick, passed away at the Dr. George Dumont Hospital on May 14, 2026, at the age of 72.

Born in Newcastle, New Brunswick, on February 25, 1954, he was the son of the late Everett and Estelle (Rousselle) Perry.  Norm spent years working in auto parts sales with Right Choice Auto, where he built many lasting connections through his expertise and easygoing personality.  Norman found great joy in drag racing, and he will be fondly remembered for his quick wit, his straight-faced sense of humour, and for the decades he spent as Newcastle’s trusted local bicycle repairman.

Norman is survived by his wife, Ann Marie (Kinsella) Perry; one son, Derrick Perry (Krista) of Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia; one daughter, Tammy Costello (Derrick) of Miramichi, New Brunswick; step-daughter, Marsha Matchett (Rosaire); stepson, Craig Mazerolle (MaryAnn); his six grandchildren: Kaitlyn, Brycen, Aubree, Adalyn, Logan, and Eliana; one brother, Ronnie Perry (Heather) of Miramichi, New Brunswick; his only sister, Shirley Falconer (Rick) of Springhill, Nova Scotia, their two children, Perry and Dianna; and his devoted dog, Ginger.  He was predeceased by his parents; grandson, Lukas Costello; and nephew, Colby Perry.
