Jennifer A. Norwood

Jennifer A. Norwood, 51, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, passed away unexpectedly at her residence on Monday, March 24, 2025.

She was born on December 24, 1973 in Muncie, Indiana to the late Harry James Mart and the late Vena (Knipstein) Mart Flatt.

Jennifer was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne. She shared her talents by staying active and assisting as a member of the Altar Guild, The Ladies Aide, and as a Sunday School teacher. This involvement allowed her to serve others, especially during the euchre tournaments and the church Christmas dinners.

Jennifer was employed by FXI for over 31 years.

Jennifer loved and was devoted to her entire family, especially her children Gibson and Malina. She never missed a sporting event or extracurricular activity of her children. She spent quality time getting her nails done with Malina and attending movies with Gibson. She took great joy in spoiling her nieces and nephews. Jennifer was a big movie and TV buff and was a fan of all things Hollywood. She loved swimming, sun bathing, playing cards, and games, especially spoons. She enjoyed visiting zoos and aquariums, and her favorite animal to see was the penguins. Jennifer never allowed life’s challenges to get in her way.

Survivors include her son, Gibson Mart of Fort Wayne, Indiana; daughter, Malina Mart of Fort Wayne, Indiana; sister, Renee (Darrin) Brueggemann of Fort Wayne, Indiana; and brother Brian (Robin) Mart of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

She was preceded in death by her nephew, Aiden Mart.
