Norma Grace Pankratz
September 20, 1937 – June 12, 2025
Norma Grace (Peters) Pankratz went to be with her Lord and Savior on June 12, 2025, while she slept peacefully in her favourite reclining chair.
She was born to Herman H. Peters and Susanna (Stobbe) Peters of Langham, SK on September 20, 1937. She lived in Langham until she was 6 years old and then moved to Dalmeny, SK with her family where she attended public school.
She always loved to study and learn. This along with an interest in the medical field caused her to attend Millar Memorial Bible School and the Nurses Training at Saskatoon City Hospital School of Nursing and she graduated in 1962. She continued her professional career in nursing until her retirement.
On July 4, 1964, she married the love of her life, Aaron Pankratz, to whom she was married for nearly 61 years.
She is predeceased by her father Herman; mother Susanna; five brothers Clarence, Elmer, Lawrene, Art and Rueben; and four sisters Hellen, Edna, Irene and Ruth.
She is survived by her husband Aaron; brother Stan (Marylou); sons Laverne and Greg (Shari); grandchildren Joel, SaraLynn, Alexandria, Genessa, and Mackenzie; and great grandchildren David, Hannah, Johnathon, Natalia, Caleb, Brielle and Benjamin.

Norma and I were classmates in Dalmeny HS . We graduated together in the same class in 1956. Norma was a Jolly , happy person to be around. I considered her one of my friends. Sorry Aaron and family for your loss of a wife, and mother.
I would have attended her funeral service but I recently moved to Calgary, after Wes passed away
Norma, a dear friend from North Park Bible church and Saskatoon City Hospital! Always smiling, always friendly! May God give you His peace as she rests with Him!
Aaron, Laverne, Greg and families
Norma was such a warm and wonderful person. She was always happy when I would see her wherever it would be. I know my family considered themselves lucky to have neighbors like you and Norma. It was so easy to see why she was a nurse, always so caring. My prayers are with you during this difficult time.
I was unable to make it to Norma’s funeral yesterday but I did listen to it on line. What a wonderful tribute to Norma! I used to work at Central way back when we were both an RN and I have many wonderful memories working with her. At the close of the shift she would thank the CCA’s for their help that day! Even when she retired, she would send me a birthday card and a Christmas letter. My Quiring siblings who were so much older than me interacted with Norma and Aron . Norma will definitely be missed as she was always so positive. Praying for you Aron and your family at this difficult time and the days ahead. May God give you strength!
We are so incredibly sorry for your deep loss. You all honoured your wife/Mom. grandmother well. She was every bit of goodness as described. Like to so many others, she was genuinely interested in our lives and so very encouraging – always. She will be tremendously missed.
Norma was the kind of person that kept things cheerful and her love for the Lord overflowed in her love towards those around her. She left a great legacy.
Please convey this message to Aaron and family: Norma was my Nursing Arts Instructor when I was in first year training at Saskatoon City Hospital. Linda Wiebensohn and I lived in Room 222 in the Nurse’s Residence and had considerable input (mostly teasing) when she was dating Aaron. She called us her “pills” (assuming we were a bit of a headache to her). I loved her Christian influence – it was an inspiration to me. Someday we will meet again, Norma. You were a first class act! My condolences to the entire family. I will be watching your live stream from my home in Calgary.
