Martha was truly the best. She was incredibly loving and lived for her family. They were her everything. Gatherings at her house with those she loved gave her the greatest joy. She spent many years at WR Bean, where she met her husband, Ron, and created friendships that lasted throughout her life (Linda Rakestraw, Charlene Baldwin, and Pood Bergkessel). After WR Bean closed, she spent the remainder of her career at Printpack, Inc. She loved her plants, all quirky figurines, cool glassware, and most of all, her people. She enjoyed every minute with those she loved most and embraced all moments with them.
Martha was preceded in death by the love of her life, Ronald Norman; her grandson, Kyle Norman; her brothers, Gene Rainwater and Berry Rainwater; and her parents, Thurman Rainwater and Doris Johnston.
Martha leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories that will forever remain in the hearts of her family. She is lovingly remembered by her children, Angie (Tracy) Williams, Andy (Jennifer) Finney, Crystal (Rick) Motes, and David (Alecia) Norman; her grandchildren, Christy (Pearson) Eastham, Cooper Cloer, Emma (Austin) Cook, Annmarie Cloer, Kera Norman; and Justin (Cathy) Thompson, as well as her great-grandchildren, Emma Eastham and Grayson Eastham. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Gertrude Rainwater, along with several beloved nieces and nephews.
Martha’s love for her family and the precious memories they shared will continue to live on through the generations she leaves behind.
A celebration of Martha's life will be held in the chapel of Whitley Garner Funeral Home Saturday, November 14 at 1:00 pm. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.
