Naomi Vickers Allen passed away on Wednesday, July 29th, 2020 at the Tri Counties Hospice Care Center in Chiefland, FL. She was 72.
She was born on December 18, 1947 in Gainesville, Florida, to the late James and Edith Vickers. She grew up in Trenton, graduated from Trenton High School in 1965 and Lake City Jr College in 1967. She met her future husband, Earl Jerome Allen, when they were attending Lake City Jr College.
They were married on December 2, 1967. Raising three active sons as a military mom and wife away from family was tough, but she stayed active supporting her husband and three sons.
After military life, the family moved to Chiefland where Naomi went to work for the Chiefland Citizen. She worked there until the paper was sold. She later worked at the One Stop Workforce Center where she helped numerous individuals find jobs in the local area.
Over the years Naomi enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, she truly adored them. She also loved fishing with Jerome in the Gulf of Mexico at Horseshoe. After retirement, she had more time to do what she really loved and that was reading. She always had bookshelves full of books.
When Jerome retired, they bought a place on Jeter Mountain in North Carolina where they spent a lot of time with relatives and new mountain friends. They visited lots of waterfalls, enjoyed the scenic mountains, but the thing she enjoyed most was going to estates sales, yard sales, and antique stores. Over the years Naomi loved all her dogs, but she especially loved her Max.
Naomi was of the Baptist Faith. She is survived by her husband SMSGT Earl Jerome Allen, Retired; three sons, Scott (Rachel), Patrick (Natasha) and David (Lindsey); sister Wihlena Wilson; two brothers, James “Buddy” (Carolyn) and John Vickers; sister-in-law, Peggy Vickers; five grandchildren, Hunter, Emory, Austin, Molly, and Isabel.
