Norman G. Strosser, 91, a resident of St. Anne’s Retirement Community, Columbia, entered into rest on Sunday, June 1, 2014.

He was the husband of the late Rose T. Schreder Strosser, with whom he shared 62 years of marriage. Born in Lancaster, he was the son of the late Emil E. and Theresa Krallinger Strosser.

A 1940 graduate of Lancaster Catholic High School and 1949 graduate of Mount St. Mary’s College, Emmitsburg, MD, Norman was a certified public accountant, owning and operating his own accounting business on Fremont St. for 59 years. A US Army veteran of World War II, he served as a Staff Sergeant with a field artillery and tank destroyer battalion.

He was a lifetime member of St. Joseph Catholic Church, where he served as the finance chairman and was active in various functions of the parish. He was a member of the Lancaster Liederkranz, the Knights of Columbus, the Millersville VFW, and the Dutchland Polkateers.
