Norman “Norm” Everson

Wisconsin 4-H Specialist

In Memoriam

Norm personified 4-H. His passion began as a member of the Milton Club in Rock County and continued through his professional career with UW-Extension and volunteer leadership at the local level.

Norm’s career started as a 4-H agent in Green County from 1954-1958. He was a 4-H Youth Development Specialist for UW-Extension from 1967-1987. Norm received the Chancellor’s Distinguished Service Award, the Governor’s Special Award, and State and National 4-H Association Distinguished Service awards.

Norm gave to his community: he was a 38-year member of the Middleton Kiwanis Club. He was a member of Middleton Community Church and later Asbury Methodist Church.

Norm’s attitude was always, “We can do that!” He was a person of great integrity, compassion, and energy. Norm loved and believed in Wisconsin 4-H just as he loved and believed in helping others, and he always did so with a smile.
