Mr Cleve and Angela so so sorry to hear of Mrs Norrells passing. May God wrap you both in his arms and carry you during the days ahead.

I knew Martha back in the late 70s and early 80s when she and I worked at GC Murphy Co. I saw her at just a few of the reunions of former employees I was able to attend. I always remember her being so pretty and had the most pleasant personality. My condolences to her husband, daughter, granddaughters, and rest of the family during this time of sorrow.

Cleve, I was so sorry to learn of Martha’s passing. We go back a long way…to Crosley School long before G.C. Murphy Company. I really admired her for the way she handled the news of the onset of dementia and told her so. I don’t know of many that could have dealt with it as she did. Of course having you thru the years made her stronger. You are the glue that held her together. My prayers are With you and the fam8ly.

In loving memory of Martha and gratitude for the blessing of knowing her.

I am sad to hear of Martha’s passing; however I know she is celebrating with Jesus. I loved working with Martha at Texas Industries. The eight and a half years I worked there were enjoyable because I got to work with Martha. We shared a lot with each other at our lunch breaks. We talked about our families and our love for God. Martha taught me how to shop clearance sales and we spent many lunch breaks at Pecan Land Mall looking for those bargains. We took a business trip to Colorado Springs one March. Martha and I decided to go a day early and stay a day longer so we could do some sight seeing. I drove and Martha navigated. Martha did take over the driving one evening when I panicked as we were driving up a mountain. I loved Martha like a sister. The time I got to share with Martha has been a great blessing and I thank God that I was allowed to know her. I know she will be greatly missed by all her family and friends.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
