Norman Beckwith Obituary

Carmel-Norman A. "Sonny" Beckwith, 89, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on May 2, 2025. He was born in Greenville, Maine, on October 22, 1935. He was raised in Shirley and Rangeley until graduating from Greenville High School in 1952. Sonny served in the U.S. Marine Corps for 2 years. He returned to Shirley and worked in the Shirley/Greenville area for many years. One of his favorite jobs was driving truck for Scott Paper Company. He made several lifelong friends during that time.
Sonny enjoyed camping with his family as well as hunting and fishing with "the guys" up to camp and with his friend, Mike. He enjoyed playing his guitar in church and with Tim and friends from Monson.
His granddaughters were his pride and joy. Even through his illnesses over the years, he was still able to see them grow into beautiful, successful women.
Sonny was predeceased by his parents, Norman and Reine Beckwith; his siblings and spouses, Bernard (Janet) Beckwith, Ken (Marie) Beckwith, and Joyce (Robert) Dayon; and his son-in-law, Chuck Boucher. He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Mona (Levensailor) Beckwith; daughter, Lynn Boucher; son, Rodney (Donna) Beckwith; grandchildren, Abby (Connor) Boucher, Leah (Jesse) Enos, Nikki (Zack) Dawson, and Kacey (Adam) Brown; and one very loved great-grandson, Forest Dawson.
The family would like to thank Amedisys Home Health and Beacon Hospice for their loving care of Sonny.
