LEWISTON - Normand R. Lamie, of Lewiston, passed away on Sept. 30, 2026, following a challenging battle with pancreatic cancer.
Norm was born in Lewiston on March 21, 1952, the son of Armand and Rose (Morin) Lamie.
Norm married the love of his life, Susan D. Plagg, on Oct. 11, 1975, in Nobleboro, Maine.
Norm’s devotion to his family was at the heart of everything he did. He instilled the importance of hard work and good education in his children. His loving nature and generous spirit will be deeply missed by family and many friends.
Norm especially enjoyed spending time with his seven grandchildren, Maylendi and Aidan Adams of Otisfield, Maine, Avah and Ethan Lamie of White River Junction, Vt.; Austin McGregor of Litchfield, Emma McGregor of Sabattus, and Kody McGregor of Lewiston. He also enjoyed great-grandson Kingston McGregor of Litchfield, Maine.
He is survived by his wife, Susan Lamie; his daughter Kathryn Adams of Otisfield and her husband Ryan, son Nathan Lamie of White River Junction, Vt. and his wife Sara, his daughter Kimberly McGregor of Lewiston; and his sister Denise Powell and her husband Bill of South China, Maine. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews for whom he cared very much.
He was predeceased by his parents; his brother Larry Lamie, and his sister Lorraine Robarge.
Norm’s career included working for the City of Lewiston Public Works Department, Auburn Water & Sewer District, and as Chief Engineer with the State of Maine Drinking Water Program. He was President of the Maine Water Utilities Association in 1994 and President of the New England Water Works in 2005.
He closed out his nearly 50- year career in the drinking water profession working as an independent contractor helping small water utilities in Maine with financial and operational issues with the Maine Rural Water Association.
Norm enjoyed nearly 40 years of professional networking and fellowship with Rotary.
He became a charter member of the Auburn Lewiston Rotary Breakfast Club in 1991. He served as Club President in 1994 and as Club Treasurer since 2016.
Norm’s interest in genealogy came about in later years.
His genealogy research uncovered many interesting facts about ancestors and historical connections that he freely shared with extended family. Norm was able to trace his ancestry back many generations to France.
He served on the Board of Directors and Treasurer of the Maine Franco-American Genealogical Society since 2022. In the years to come, future generations will recognize the impact of having Norm in their family tree and feel a sense of pride.
The family extends a heartfelt thanks to the compassionate and talented medical team who cared for Norm during his illness, especially Dr. Daniel Rausch of Cancer Care Center at Central Maine Medical Center, the talented and caring team of staff and doctors at Infusion Care, and the caring professionals from Hospice & Palliative Care Service provided by Andwell Health Partners.
