July 20, 1938 - November 28, 2024

Norma Faye Martin, 86, of Batesville passed away November 28, 2024.

She was born July 20, 1938 to Ernest Truman Newberry and Edith Mable (Hunter) Newberry.

Norma was a lady of understanding, kindness, love, and compassion. She always spoke words of wisdom and words of truth. She would always speak her mind and never rose her voice, but if she did, it was with kindness and discipline. Norma could be very stubborn at times but she was just one to not beat around the bush. You got what you gave out and that's the facts, pure and simple.

Survivors include two sons, Allen Martin of Pleasant Plains, James Hicks of Floral; three daughters, Edith Martin of Southside, Robin Dunar of Desha, Frances Bukharia of Knoxville, Tennessee; two brothers, Joseph Newberry of San Diego, California, Jerry Newberry of Sturgis, Michigan; fifteen grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren, twelve great-great-grandchildren, and special friends, David and Nancy Branscum, and Jerry Bird and Autie Hall.

She is preceded in death by her parents, and her husband, Alton Alvin Martin.

Pallbearers are Andrew Martin, Darryl Thompson, Alan Martin, Michael Martin, and Gary Mohlke.

Funeral services will be held Thursday, December 5, 2024 at 2:00pm at the Roller-Crouch Funeral Home in Batesville. Burial will follow at Egner Cemetery.

Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service.
