Norma Louise (Cockrell) Kretchmar was born Oct. 4, 1927, to Dennis Flynn and Edna Fae (Walton) Cockrell and passed from this life Dec. 5, 2014, in Enid, Okla., at age 87.
In 1945, Norma graduated from Enid High School.
On Aug. 4, 1948, she married Clifford Kretchmar of Medford, Okla. To this union, two children were born: Monte on June 23, 1952, and Jody on Jan. 10, 1956.
She worked for her brother-in-law, Joe Kretchmar Jr., at K and K Lumber Company until 1969, when she became a deputy at Grant County Treasurer’s office, retiring in 1978. After a few years of retirement, she started volunteering at Grant County Soil Conservation Office in Medford and received the State Volunteer of the Year Appreciation Award for volunteering the most hours in the state.
Norma enjoyed her family, activities of her children and grandchildren, and her work. She also enjoyed going dancing and traveling with her husband after their retirement. Her children and grandchildren were her entire world. She loved being a wife, mother, grandmother and aunt, and loved being around people. She was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Medford, St. Mary’s Alter Society and Madonna Mothers Club.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Dennis and Edna Cockrell; her husband of 52 years, Clifford Kretchmar; son, Monte Kretchmar; sisters, Waunetta Hisey and Wanda Barnett; and several aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
Norma leaves daughter Jody Whitehead; grandchildren, Troy Whitehead, Lacy Greenfield and husband Cody, Tyler Whitehead, Kala Phillips and husband Devin; great-grandson, Landon Phillips; as well as several nieces and nephews.
