Norma Jean Roberts, 84, of Benwood, WV, formerly of Waynesburg, PA died Saturday, December 28, 2019 in Wheeling Hospital.
She was born May 6, 1935 in Greene County, PA; the daughter of the late Lee R. and Bernice L. McNay Martin.
She was a retired cook of 24 years from Marshall County Schools and retired worker of 22 years from Oglebay Glass Shop.
Norma Jean opened her heart and home to all. Family, friends and neighbors were her most cherished possessions and was known as ‘grandma’ to her extended family’s children.
She was a loving and devoted mother and grandmother who enjoyed nothing more than to have a house full of people she loved. For those who knew her, she was a wonderful cook and you never left hungry from her home.
Her hands were seldom idle, as she poured love and affection into every stitch of her hand-sewn quilts, personalized Christmas stockings and sock monkeys, which are cherished gifts to all that received them.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by two brothers, Harold and Ralph Martin.
Survivors include two sons, Rod Roberts of Champaign, IL, Randy (Gloria) Roberts of Rayland, OH; one daughter, Rita (Bob) Kramer of Jacobsburg, OH; five granddaughters, Cindy (Steve) Dobbs of Follansbee, WV, Amanda (Matt) Wiseman of Salem, WV, Rhiannon Kramer, Cheyanne Kramer both of Jacobsburg, OH, Leah Roberts of Champaign, IL; two brothers, Raymond (Bessie) Martin of Waynesburg, PA, Kenneth (Joyce) Martin of Polk City, FL; three step-grandsons, Robert Kramer of Columbus, OH, Pete (Lorain) Russell of Rayland, OH, Scott (Stacy) Russell of Bridgeport, OH; nine great-grandchildren; several nieces and nephews.
Family will receive friends Thursday from 3-7pm at Grisell Funeral Home and Crematory, 400 Jefferson Ave., Moundsville; where funeral services will be held Friday at 11am with Pastor Pete Walburn officiating.
Interment in Riverview Cemetery, Moundsville.
