Norman Sullivan

Norman John Sullivan

September 21, 1941 – August 24, 2026

Norman John Sullivan, 84, of Saginaw, Michigan, passed away peacefully at his home on August 24, 2026. A cherished husband, father, grandpa, great-grandpa, and friend. Norm will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Born in Six Lakes, Michigan, on September 21, 1941. Norm married Linda Ann Rathbun on April 2, 1966; they recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. He served in the United States Army, attended Michigan State University, and was a lifelong fan of Spartan football and basketball. A devoted Christian, he found joy in attending Hopevale Church alongside Linda.

Norm worked as a dental sales consultant, building warm relationships with the staff in the offices he visited. At home he was a true family man who treasured everyday moments—playing card games, fishing, gardening or simply talking about life. He and Linda shared a playful, affectionate partnership full of inside jokes and easy banter; anyone who spent time with them could see how much they enjoyed being together. Nothing lit up Norm’s face, quite like time with his grandchildren and, most recently, his great-grandson.

Norm is survived by his wife, Linda; his sons, Mark, and Brian (Wendy); his grandchildren, Olivia (Tyler), Morgan, Logan (Bradyn), and his great-grandson, Scottie; and his brother, Cyrus Sullivan.

He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Adeline and his sister, Verlene.

A viewing will be held from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at Deisler Funeral Home, 2233 Hemmeter Road, Saginaw, MI 48603. A celebration of life service will start at 1:00 p.m. with military honors under the auspices of the United States Army and V.F.W. Post #1859. Private burial will take place at Oakwood Cemetery.
