Naomi was a beloved mother, daughter, sister and friend to many. She was a kind and loving soul who dedicated many years of her life as a home health aide, caring for her grandmother Cora, her uncle Ross, and many elders in the El Rito community. Naomi had a deep appreciation for the outdoors and found joy in spending time in nature. She also had a true passion for cooking, often sharing her delicious meals with family and friends. Her kitchen was always filled with love and warmth. Naomi’s heart was filled with love for her mother, Susie, who she took care of lovingly, until her passing.
