Our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother rejoined her eternal companion in heaven on February 8, 2022, after a 44-years-long separation. We will miss her terribly, but we are grateful for each one of her 93 years here and know she endured well to the end.
Naoma was the first child born to Claude & Angie Warner on December 31, 1928, in Delta, Utah. She was less than a year old when Black Tuesday came, and she spent her childhood years in the Great Depression. Just before she turned 12, Pearl Harbor was bombed, and WWII became the backdrop for her youth. Her family moved around Utah a lot during these years, but she had fond memories of life with family and friends in Delta, Panguitch, Moroni, Fillmore, and Ogden.
In 1946, during her junior year in high school, Naoma went on a blind date with a handsome sailor just returning from three years of service in the Navy. They dated over the summer before he left for his church mission and wrote to each other regularly when they were apart. During his absence, Naoma graduated from Ogden High School and began studies at Weber College. In August of 1949, Garth Francis Braithwaite and Naoma were married in the Logan Temple.
Naoma always wanted a large family, and she and Garth welcomed nine children to their family as well as a foster daughter, LeNora. Naoma cherished her role as wife, mother, and homemaker. An excellent cook, she made delicious meals and baked a dozen or more loaves of bread each week when her family was home. From their large garden she preserved hundreds of bottles of peaches, pears, cherries, raspberries, tomatoes, pickles, relish, jams, and grape juice each year. She loved sewing and made most of her and her daughters' dresses over the years. She also loved to sing, read, teach, and study the gospel.
After the untimely death of her husband in 1977, she continued to raise her family, served her parents, finished a bachelor's degree at Utah State University (Magna Cum Laude), served a mission at the Family History Library, and spent years working on her genealogy family lines and doing temple work.
As a lifelong active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she served as RS president, YW president, Stake Primary president, Gospel Doctrine teacher, and in many other callings. Her testimony of the Savior, and the joy she felt serving Him, was apparent to all who knew her.
She lived 27 years in Brigham City (1960-1987), 34 years in Orem (1987-2021), and her last 8 months at Covington Senior Living in Lehi, developing hundreds of lifelong friendships along the way. She was diagnosed with leukemia (AML) in mid-January and passed away within a month.
She is survived by her brother Lloyd (Luana) Warner; her children, Kathy (Vaughn) Call, Christine (Jim) Sandoval, David (Tracey) Braithwaite, Diane Booth, Susan (Michael) Phelps, Brian (Rachel) Braithwaite, Sherie (Eric) MacKay, Steven (Colette) Braithwaite, and Alan (Diana) Braithwaite; 57 grandchildren; and 91 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, brother Howard Warner, sister-in-law Helen Warner, son-in-law Jacques Booth, and a grandson Thomas Phelps.

A viewing prior to the service will begin at 9:00 a.m. The family will gather for a luncheon following the funeral services then leave for Brigham City at 1:30 p.m.
