Obituary
Funeral services for Carl Norby, 96, of Mobridge will be at 10 AM, Saturday, April 9, 2016 at Kesling Funeral Chapel in Mobridge. Burial will be at Greenwood Cemetery under the direction of Kesling Funeral Home of Mobridge.
Carl Norby of Mobridge, SD had his life cut short on March 29, 2016 at the age of 96yrs and 25 days from the effects of cancer. Possibly contributing to Carl's demise was his life time habit of eating Lutefisk.
Carl was born March 4, 1920 to Norwegian immigrants Sven and Serina Norby on a farm near Hettinger, ND. He was one of 13 children.
On January 1, 1941 Carl married the love of his life Marie Anfinson in Hettinger, ND. He then acquired an auto dealership which he was forced to give up after having been drafted into the US Army in 1944 during WW 11. Carl served in the European theater including the Battle Of The Bulge and attained the rank of sergeant. Following his discharge from the military he obtained employment with the Milwaukee Railroad and retired as a conductor after 40 yrs service and 1,400,000 miles logged riding the rails in train service.
Carl had an avid interest in many subjects including history and was known for his quick wit and sense of humor that he would apply to almost any situation. He was a firm believer that all people should be afforded the same respect as we are all members of the same human race and he applied that belief to all those he encountered.
Carl was preceded in death by all of his siblings, his loving wife Marie, daughter Colleen Cheskey and her husband Curtis (Cud) Cheskey.
Carl is survived by his children daughter Sharon (Ron) Frederickson of Milaca, MN, son Bruce (Cheryl) Norby of Rapid City, SD, eight grandchildren, twenty great grandchildren, and two great great grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers donations can be sent to St Jude Hospital, 501 St Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105
The family would like to extend their most sincere thanks and appreciation to Carl's care givers: Dr. Regg Hagge and the wonderful nurses at the Mobridge Regional Hospital for the care and comfort they have provided him in his final days.
