Norman R. LeBlanc, 75, of Orleans, VT passed away peacefully after his battle with cancer in the comfort of his home surrounded by family on July 19, 2026.

He was born on March 9,1951 in Barton, VT to Paul and Gerturde LeBlanc. After graduating from Lake Region Union High School in 1969 he went on to work at Orleans Country Club for 52 years as a greenskeeper. He was a prominent figure out on the golf course and was always up for a conversation, a joke, or a friendly wave while on one of his various mowers.

On July 18,1981 he married Ronda Pierce of Albany, VT and they enjoyed 45 years together.

Norman will be fondly remembered for his sense of humor, quick wit and an endearing amount of stubbornness. He was happiest when spending time with family and he especially enjoyed sleepovers with his grandson Hudson. When not at home, Norman could be found hunting for a trophy buck or fishing on various lakes and rivers in Orleans County.

He is survived by his wife Ronda, son Travis LeBlanc and partner Michelle Robert, daughter Amber Rahelich and husband Adam, grandson Hudson LeBlanc, father-in-law Maurice Pierce, brothers-in-law Randy Pierce and wife Robin and family, and Raymond Pierce and wife Linda, sisters Carmen Lamarche and Paulette Riendeau, sisters-in-law Roberta LeBlanc and Irene LeBlanc and niece Renee Hamel and several nephews. He also leaves behind his cat Ozzie and three four-legged furry grandchildren Nala, Luna and Birdie.

He was predeceased by his parents Paul and Gerturde LeBlanc, mother-in-law Carlene Pierce, brothers Theodore and Allen LeBlanc, sister Joanne Hamel, brothers-in-law Claude Lamarche and Bernard Riendeau, Sr, nephews Bernard Riendeau, Jr and Doug LeBlanc.

A celebration of Norman's life will be held at the convenience of the family.
