   He was a member of Zion Lutheran Church, the American Legion Post # 83 and the U.A.W. Local # 425..
   Norm is survived by two sons, Ray R. (Patty) Oeder and Keith N. Oeder, both of Sandusky; four granddaughters, Stephanie, Jessica, Kristen and Kyla; two great-grandsons, Logan and Aiden; and several nieces and nephews.
   He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife of 56 years, Floetta "Flo" (Schultz) Oeder on January 29, 2011; and his sisters and brothers.
   It was Norm's wish to be cremated.  A "Celebration of Life" service will be held for him at a later date.
