Arthur “Art” Norman Normandin

Arthur “Art” Norman Normandin, 63, of Damar, passed away May 5, 2023, at his home.

Art was the fifth child of seven, born April 24, 1960, in Hays, Kansas to Eugene and Anna Mae (Belisle) Normandin.

Art attended school in Damar and Palco. He was an oilfield roughneck, a painter, and a drywaller, and worked for BP Textiles until his death.

Art had the gift of gab. He was a fantastic storyteller and could make any of his tales hilarious. Although the stories sometimes seemed a bit far-fetched, he could prove every one of them as fact.

He is survived by his father, Eugene Normandin and Helen Normandin; his sister Vickie Wells and husband Rusty of Damar; his brothers, Michael and wife Sandy of Westminster, Colo., and Ivan and wife Pam of Damar; his beloved pet macaw, Indy; and nieces and nephews and friends.

Art was preceded in death by his mother Anna Mae; brothers Timothy, John and David; grandparents Arthur and Cordelia Belisle, and Norman and Irene Normandin.

Memorials are suggested to Art Normandin Memorial Fund and may be sent in care of Stinemetz Funeral Home, 522 N. Pomeroy Avenue, Hill City, KS 67642.
