At 5:00 am on September 30, 2021, we lost our wife, mother, daughter and friend, Norma Patrice “Tricy” Slaton to mankind’s greatest enemy, death. Norma was born on August 22, 1970 to Norman (deceased) and Ella M. Cheatham of Delray Beach, Florida. Norma was affectionately known as “Tricy” to family members and to anyone who became a close friend of the family. Norma was employed by Publix Supermarkets, Euro Atlantic, Krieger Financial, University of Kentucky and more recently VIP Helpdesk for Home Advisor from home. Norma got married on January 15, 1992 to Robin L. Slaton. She had one child, Trevor R. St. Martin. She was a devoted wife and mother for her entire life. Norma was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses on May 22, 1993 in the Delray Beach North Congregation. She pioneered for 2 years – putting in many hours to speak to interested ones – spreading the message of Good News. Recently, because of the pandemic, she did her ministry on Zoom and reaching out by phone and letters, aiding and conducting Bible studies in the Cannongate Congregation in Newnan, Georgia. Even though she dealt with a debilitating facial illness, she still found a funny remark that would bring others to laughter. Norma loved to cook. She would make her food with Love. Always making adjustments and perfecting whatever she made. She loved all genres of music and had an extensive CD collection. Norma was very hospitable. She would help people as they were going through various trials. She was truly “Good People”. Norma leaves to cherish her memories; her husband of more than 29 years, Robin L. Slaton and her son Trevor R. St. Martin both of Newnan, Ga. Her mother, Ella M. Cheatham of Delray Beach, Fl. Her grandparents, James and Emma Murray, Sr. of Delray Beach, Fl.
