Norma Lea Martin, 83, of Tulsa, found her peace in heaven on May 21, 2018.  Visitation will be from 5-7 PM on Thursday, with a funeral service at 1 PM, on Friday, both at Fitzgerald Southwood Colonial Chapel.  Norma was born on August 5, 1934, in Oklahoma City, OK, the daughter of Clyde and Ann Hudiburg.  She was raised by her devoted mother as well as her loving Uncle Frankie and was greatly influenced by the generous care of the Carmelite Sisters of Villa Teresa.  She grew up in the Oklahoma City area, graduated from Mount St Mary High School in the class of 1952.  She then furthered her education, pursuing her passion of caring for others as a Registered Nurse at St. Anthony Hospital.  In the emergency room there, she met the love of her life, Dr. Fred Martin.   They were married on November 24, 1955 in Oklahoma City.

Her greatest commitment and pleasure in life was her devotion to her family.  She continued the legacy begun by her mother of surrounding those in her home with deep, unconditional love and acceptance; beyond measure.  Her life's work also included innumerable volunteer positions anywhere there was a need, stopping the cycle of child abuse by helping create Parents Anonymous of Tulsa, becoming one of the founding S.A.N.E. (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) professionals through the Tulsa District Attorney's office and being the inspiration for Anna's Belles Ovarian Cancer Support Group.  Another accomplishment highlighting her fun-loving nature and bright spirit was Norma's graduation from Ringling Brothers Clown College, enabling her to touch the lives of others and pass out "I Hugged a Clown Today" stickers.  Norma is survived by her loving husband, Fred Martin, MD, children; Fred Martin, Jr., MD, and his wife, Irma, of Austin, TX, Lesa Martin, of Pagosa Springs, CO, Lori Robb, and her husband, David, of Tulsa, OK, and Kevin Martin, of Tulsa, OK, grandchildren; Christopher Martin, and his wife, Xi Xi, of Round Rock, TX, Rebecca Martin, of Austin, TX, Mitchell Robb, of Midland, TX, Matthew Robb, of Norman, OK, and Thomas Martin, of Tulsa, OK, great-grandchildren; Lily Grace Martin, and Jocelyn "Ki Ki" Martin.  Additionally, the Martin home and hearts were open to Tony, Nadim and Tania Rubeiz of Beirut, Lebanon who became cherished members of the family.  She was preceded in death by her parents. Memorial donations may be made in her name to Anna's Belles Ovarian Cancer Support Group, C/O Lisa Ramsey, 17310 East 116th Street North, Owasso, OK 74055.  Please designate your donation is in honor of Norma Martin.  Fitzgerald Southwood Colonial Chapel, 918-291-3500.
