Naomi loved working outside, whether it was raising her chickens, gardening or feeding the birds; she was happiest when she was working. She was an extremely generous person.

Naomi was of the "No Waste Generation" and definitely lived up to the title. She was hardworking, loving, kind and completely selfless.
