Naomi Bennetts

Naomi came to start volunteering at Chippenham when she was already older that most of our volunteers. I was the Director of Volunteers at that time, and remember wondering about a suitable placement for her. Needless to say, I shouldn't have worried. Naomi could run rings around most of the younger volunteers! It was such a pleasure knowing and working with Naomi. I was certainly blessed to know her.

Mrs. Bennetts played the piano for the Cradle Roll Class at Forest Hill SDA Church when I was the class leader in the early 80's. The members of the choir also had Mrs. Bennetts and her good friend Mrs. Ramsey work with us on many music numbers prior to the church services. Some times we sounded pretty ruff until we learned our parts around the piano. The Choir was the first "small group" that not only sang for church services but lifted each other in prayer and cared for each other in every day life. The 1980's and 1990's choir was busy praising God and enjoying each others company, we shared many a laugh and tear with Mrs. Bennetts.
