Naomi passed away in her home of natural causes one week before her 91 st birthday which would have been on Easter Sunday. She was born on the family farm near Cedarville on April 12, 1929, the daughter of James O. "Pat" and Daisy Conner. She was preceded in death by her parents, twin brother, Neil Conner, brother, Larry Conner, sister-in-laws, Donna Conner and Ruth Bonecutter, brother-in-laws, Sherman "Junior" Bonecutter and Robert "Bob" Melvin, mother-in-law and father-in-law, Virgil and Leva Melvin, father of her children, Donald Melvin, and special friend Harry Barnes.

She loved life and got so much joy visiting with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and friends. She also enjoyed playing the piano and riding motorcycle with her special friend Harry Barnes who she knew for 37 years until his death in 2008. She also enjoyed watching the Cincinnati Reds, Dayton Flyers, The Ohio State Buckeyes, and other sports on TV along with the Game Show Channel.
