May 16, 2024 at 2:54 amNaomi, was my primary teacher in the old Salem 3 rd ward. She was always so kind to me. I remember when your family lived in the house down on the highway. I remember going to school with some of the kids we weren’t the same age but I remember several of the kids. She will be missed, but I’m so grateful for her sweet example of being Christlike.

May 16, 2024 at 2:55 amSo sorry to hear of Naomi’s passing. I visit taught her for many years and she was always so sweet. She was so proud of her children and grandchildren and so concerned with their well being. After we were no longer in the same ward she always would talk to me as we passed her in the Library at the Church. She was a special soul and a good friend. Love her very much.
