Naomi was very smart, she was quick to think on her toes and always had the best comebacks. She had a larger than life sense of humor, you would be guaranteed to walk away from any conversation with a good laugh and a smile on your face.

Naomi was quiet until you got to know her. She had the craziest jokes; There was no shortage of laughs when she was present.
