Naomi Berens Obituary
Naomi was born May 6, 1940, in Watford City, ND to Verle and Gladys Boe. She moved to Washington in 1951 with her family and graduated from Federal Way High School. She was a loving wife, dedicated mother, caring grandmother and thoughtful sister who enjoyed being a home maker. She was passionate about gardening and loved to read.

She is survived by her daughter Melissa Ellis of Puyallup; granddaughters Hailey and Hannah Ellis of Puyallup; sisters, Judy Collins of Algona, Mavis Gallagher-Outland of La Pine, OR and Donna Olson of Algona.
She is preceded in death by her husband of 33 years, Robert J. Berens (2003); brothers Vernon Boe of Salem, OR., Leo Boe of Missoula, MT., and Edward Boe of Portland, OR.

Losing someone dear is never easy. To lose a mother is a pain I have not personally experienced. What I do know is that your mom loved you and you loved her dearly. Hold fast to the wonderful memories which can never be taken away from you. Trust that she is in a better place and is pain free. I am here for you and the girls in whatever capacity possible. Love you lots and remember to take care of you!

I was never lucky enough to meet your mom Melissa, but anyone who can raise such a wonderful child must have been very special indeed. I know she was a wonderful grandmother too, and I am hoping all of you can find some comfort knowing she ran her race well in spite of the obstacles life put in her path. If I can do anything at all, I am just a phone call away.
