Norman Robert Wiersma

Norman Robert Wiersma, age 82 of Randolph, passed away on Friday, September 26, 2025, in Madison.

Norman was born on July 1, 1943, son of Clifford and Alberta (Boomsma) Wiersma Sr. He was united in marriage to Ardis Alsum on December 13, 1963, at First Reformed Church in Friesland. Norman attended Country School, where he laid the foundation for a life of hard work and dedication, traits that defined him throughout the years as a dairy farmer.

Known for his friendly demeanor and infectious laughter, he will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, particularly hunting and fishing, always eager to spend time enjoying the great outdoors. After the passing of his wife Ardis, Norman found love again with his high school sweetheart, Marlene Hughes. It was a special moment when, on September 6, 2019, one call rekindled a love that had stood the test of time. They spent six wonderful years together, creating memories that will forever be cherished. He was a member of the Second Christian Reformed Church.
