Naomi R. (Boal) Johnson

Naomi Ruth Johnson, 93, passed away on Friday, June 9, 2023, at Valley View Nursing Center in Montoursville. Born on April 28, 1930, Naomi was the daughter of the late Ai and Florence (Tomlinson) Boal.

She was predeceased by her husband who passed away in 1994, Edmund, Jr.; two daughters, Patty and Sandy; a son, James; two grandsons, JR and Jimmy; and a brother, Donnie.

Naomi is survived by a daughter, Phyllis; two sons, Robert (Bettie) and Steve (Wanda); 11 grandchildren, Michelle, Kelly, Gary, Beth, Karen, Aaron, Tanya, Shevonne, Tommy, David and Matt; great and great-great grandchildren; a sister, Margie; and a brother, Eddie.

In addition to raising six children and working outside the home, Naomi was a foster mother to six. She prepared income tax returns, held the position of Union Secretary-Treasurer for 19 years and delivered meals for Meals on Wheels into her 80’s, completing 20 years of volunteer service.

Naomi enjoyed camping in her earlier years and in her later years enjoyed reading, puzzles and studying her family’s genealogy. Her skill at puzzles was well known, earning the title “puzzle master” by those who knew her well.

Naomi was always willing to help others and had a keen sense when somebody needed a helping hand or word of encouragement. She will be greatly missed.

A time of visitation will be held on Thursday, June 15, 2023, from 6pm to 7:30pm at Maneval Allen Redmond Cremation & Funeral Home, 500 W. Fourth St., Williamsport.
