Mrs. Gilbert Martha Norris Gilbert, who led the first Virginia agency that focused on children and was involved in expanding pre-school programming in public school divisions across the state, has died. As she once put it, “Every child born in America should have an even start, which includes a family, a home, clothes to wear, food to eat and the opportunity for optimal development.” Mrs. Gilbert, who also mentored cancer patients during her own 20-year battle with the disease, died on Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2020. She was 82. “My sister had two roles in life,” said her brother, Dr. James E.C. Norris, a plastic surgeon in New York. “She was a fierce advocate for children and an adviser to cancer survivors. She excelled in both.”
