Iris and daylilies were among Naomi's favorite flowers, and at one time she had in excess of 200 different varieties of iris and daylilies. Naomi was a long-time member of Willow View United Methodist Church in Enid, where she served in various capacities of the Women's Missionary Society.

Naomi was preceded in death by her husband, LeRoy; her parents, William H and Louise Y Rodenberg; and her sister, Lillie Mae Pruiett.
