Naomi Elizabeth Tiner, 89 years young, went to be with Jesus on Sunday, March 17th at Golden Living Center in Shafter. Naomi was born to Elmer and Opal Snyder on May 4, 1929, in Gravette, Arkansas. She was the oldest sibling of two sisters, Mary and Clara, and one brother, Johnny. Her family moved to California in the early 1940’s. She graduated from Wasco High School in 1947 as valedictorian of her class. She married Charlie Tiner on March 14, 1948 at the Wasco Church of the Nazarene. Naomi… made her career as a homemaker, mother and secretary at various Wasco businesses.
Naomi was honored as Wasco Mother of the Year which was well deserved, as she was a loving mom to her two daughters and two sons, and later super mother-in-love to her children’s spouses. She was active in Mother Singer’s choir as well as a Cub Scout leader and camp counselor. She enjoyed crafting, cooking, gardening, and camping. She and Charlie enjoyed traveling the country – she was an expert navigator and photographer along the way.
Naomi was a women of great faith in her Lord and was a member of Wasco Church of the Nazarene, and later, Westside Family Fellowship. Over the years she served as Sunday school teacher, choir director and song leader. She has left a legacy of a love for music which is evident in each generation that follows.
