Norma Lita Walker

Norma Lita Walker, 70 of Midland, TX, passed away on Friday August 2, 2013 at her residence. She was born to Jessie and Waydia Clayton on September 19, 1942 in Lubbock, Texas. Norma was raised by her grandparents James and Annie Green in Carbon, Texas and Ira, Texas. She married and had two daughters, Lagaytha D'Ann and Rhonda Nevon. She moved to Midland, Texas and worked as a key punch operator and advanced as an accountant for Chevron for 28 years. The most important thing in her life was her daughters and her grandchildren. She loved to have a beautiful yard and worked very hard to make it so. Norma always had a funny story to tell about something she was doing, from building a fence in her yard to working on her car. She loved to dance, had many friends, and loved to laugh. She ran a turtle foster home in her backyard and she had a lot of turtles. If one of the turtles was sick then she took them to the vet to get medicine. Norma will be missed by so many. She was preceded in death by her father, Jessie Clayton, mother Waydia Green Clayton, her grandfather James Olive Green, her grandmother Annie Lee McGaha Green, her brother Phillip Clayton, her dogs PePe, Maggie, and Kiwi, and her cats Meows and Kitty.
