Norman L. Brudos

Norman L. Brudos, age 89, of Viroqua, passed away December 12, 2020, at Vernon Manor, where he resided since September. He was born September 2, 1931, in Viroqua to the late George and Mabel (Aberg) Brudos. He graduated from Viroqua High School and soon after enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he honorably served for three years. He then worked at the Viroqua Dairy for 20 years. His last vocation was with the UW in La Crosse Athletic Department maintenance; he retired from there at the age of 70. His greatest enjoyment was football. The Packers were his favorite, of course. He is survived by his children: Cheryl (Monte) Sime of Viroqua, Becky Sorenson of Ontario, Greg (Iris) Brudos of Tampa, FL., and Lori (Pat) Reget of Westby; four grandchildren: Brooke and Phillip Sime, Meagan (Ryan) Conrad, and Shelby Brudos; three great-grandchildren: Gander Conrad, Graham Conrad, and Griffin Conrad. Norman was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Gerald Brudos; his sister, Elmina Vangen; an infant son, Steven; a granddaughter, Stephanie Haakenson; and Marilyn Carder, his partner for 35 years.
