'''Norma Fleming Murray''' (b. [[1951]]) is a Pensacola businesswoman who owns the trio of [[Norma's]] restaurants, which she started in [[1988]] with a lunch counter in the [[Dillard's]] department store in [[Cordova Mall]] and has since added two locations in [[downtown Pensacola]]. Before entering the restaurant business, she was a teacher for seven years and a stay-at-home mom for another seven.

In [[2002]] she published a cookbook, ''[[As Always]]'', containing more than 100 of her recipes.

In [[2007]] she purchased the site of the [[William F. Lee House]], demolished after [[Hurricane Ivan]], from [[West Florida Historic Preservation, Inc.]] for $625,000. The lot at [[Alcaniz Street]] and [[Bayfront Parkway]] was previously considered by [[Robert de Varona]] for the site of his [[Varona's]] restaurant, but when he chose a different location, Murray was able to buy it for her [[Lee House Bed & Breakfast]] project, planned to open in [[2009]].
