Norma was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on March 9, 1942 to Juanita Thelma (Tanquary) and Harry Norman Jadlot. She lived in Bethany, Oklahoma until the age of 4, at which time she moved to Edmond, Oklahoma. Her high school education was received in the Edmond school systems. She then attended Draughon School of Business. She married her first husband, Jerry Don Barton, on November 21, 1964 and became widowed on September 27, 1977.

She was highly regarded and accomplished many things that she was very proud of, such as being a member of Lutheran Women's Missionary League (LWML) and holding several offices. She also helped to form St. John Lutheran Preschool in 1997 where she taught. Some of Norma's passions in life were tending to her beautiful flowers, farming with her husband, being a faithful homemaker, and living a life of God with her church.
