Norena Martin Obituary
Norena R. Martin, affectionately known to her loved ones as Renie, passed away peacefully on September 25, 2025, in Holmdel, New Jersey, after a short illness. Born on October 14, 1933, in Queens, New York City, Renie's vibrant spirit and unwavering kindness profoundly touched all who had the pleasure of knowing her throughout her 91 years of life.
Renie's early years in Queens laid the foundation for a lifetime of cherished memories and enduring friendships. Renie's journey eventually led her to Monmouth County New Jersey, where she continued to cultivate a community of friends and family whose lives were enriched by her presence.
She enjoyed a career in banking before working as an administrative assistant in the Henry Hudson Regional High School library. Upon her retirement, she moved with her husband, Jack, to West Palm Beach Florida before relocating back to Monmouth County, NJ in 2022.
Renie is predeceased by her loving husband of 68 years, John A. (Jack) Martin. She is survived by her son, John and his wife Karen, of Freehold. NJ and her son Michael and his wife Kim, of Brick, NJ. Her role as a grandmother to Brian, Jessica, Sean, and Evan Martin was one she cherished deeply, and the joy of becoming a great-grandmother to Wesley and Cooper was a blessing that filled her with happiness. Renie also held a special place in her heart for her nieces Dawn Wunderler, Cynthia Bartley, Linda Rogers-Griffith, and Donna Rogers-Doherty, and nephews Wayne, Richard, and Roy Edward “Nicky” Rogers, all of whom will miss her love and affection.
As we bid farewell to Renie, we celebrate a life lived fully, with grace and purpose. Renie's memory will continue to inspire and guide us, and her laughter, wisdom, and unconditional love are her lasting gifts to us all. While we mourn her passing, we also rejoice in having been part of her extraordinary journey. As per her final wishes, there will be no services.
