She served on the Hennessey School Board from 1974 until 1979.

Naomi is survived by her husband, Dr. Wilmer D. Fast of the home; daughter, Mary Kay Kimmel and husband David of Colorado Springs, Colo.; and grandson, Chris Kimmel of Denver.

She was preceded in death by both parents and one sister. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made through the funeral home to American Heart Association. (Submitted by family)
