Naomi was born in Baum on February 8, 1934, to John Griffin and Myrtle Lee Coursey Clark. She attended Dickson High School for 11 years and graduated high school in Elmore City in 1953.
Naomi was a very bright and loving sister. She never met a stranger and was loved by all who knew her. She grew up with a strong faith and close walk with her Lord and Savior. For many years she taught Sunday School and was an avid student of the Bible. Christian music was always a part of Naomi’s life. She sang with trios and quartets in her younger years. At two years of age, her mother passed, and at age 11, her father passed. Naomi was reared by her siblings. She married the love of her life, Arthur Mitchell, on August 9, 1957, and devoted her life to him, sharing 61 years. They enjoyed friends, family, and gardening. She worked for several plumbing companies and Hudson-Houston Lumber Company, all of Ardmore; and First State Bank of Dumas, Texas, for six years. Naomi volunteered for approximately 20,000 hours at Mercy Auxiliary (Pink Darlings).
Preceding her in death were her parents; brothers, A.C. Clark and Julius Clark; and sisters, Lavada Dulaney and Winnie Hoover.
Survivors include her husband, Arthur; son, Dale Mitchell of Dallas who was the joy of her life; sister, Geraldine Forson; brother, Johnny Clark and wife Helen of Wichita Falls, Texas; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family; and many dear friends.
The family offers heartfelt thanks for the services of Cross Timbers Hospice of Ardmore, whose capable nurses and staff gave stellar support and direction in their time of need. Words cannot express the overwhelming gratitude to Janet Lindsey for her incredible loving care and devotion for Naomi during the past 18 months.
Serving as pallbearers were Don Olive, Steve Dodson, Gary Campbell, Wendell Goodin, Carlton Freeman, and Joe Fine.
