Naomi Sheridan Obituary

Naomi Irene Sheridan Our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother went home to her precious Lord and Savior on August 20th, 2007. She was born to Ralph and Etta Smith on July 11th, 1920 in Seattle. She was preceded in death by husband Wayne and daughter Linda. She is survived by her children, Kathy (Gary) Shackelford of Tacoma, Bert (Judy) Sheridan of Sedro Woolley and Paul Sheridan of Oak Harbor. She is also survived by her precious 8 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren. Wherever she lived, Naomi was active in a local church. Currently she was a member of First Baptist Church of University Place. She volunteered for 11 years at the Crisis Pregnancy Center, and this past year she enjoyed working with "The 3rd Grade Readers" from Life Christian School. She was currently living at Life Manor and made many dear friends there. We all miss her greatly, but we know that she is experiencing "the everlasting life promised to all those who believe in Him". A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 22nd at 11:00a.m. at Temple Baptist Church, located at 1108 Columbia Ave., Fircrest, WA 98466.

We knew Naomi & Wayne when we were members of the First Baptist Church of Redmond. Naomi was the sweetest and funniest person you would ever want to know. She was a real joy to be around. Our prayers are with the family.

I remember Mrs. Sheridan from my days growing up at Redmond First Baptist Church. She was my Sunday school teacher, Bible school teacher and a pivital person in leading me to the Lord. She was also a good friend to my mother. She was kind and thoughtful and treated everyone with respect and dignity. I am truly sorry for your loss and pray God's peace and comfort on your family at this most difficult time.

Dear Kathy & family,
Just reading about your dear mother. I know you'll miss her as I do my mom just about everyday, but as you say, she's with the Lord & she had a wonderful life & served the Lord & you'll have lots of wonderful memories for years to come!

"Precious in the sight of the Lord, is the death of his saints..." We know of no other person for whom truly these word exemplify. Naomi was a genuine example of a Godly Woman, who loved her Savior, her family, and all of those with whom she came in contact. Our memories of Naomi are many...from her radiating the love of God, to her sweet laugh and sense of humor. Many were the times as Bill would be jogging early in the mornings, Naomi would be out for her morning walk, and taking it upon herself to "tidy up" the neighborhood by picking up litter as she strolled along. She will certainly leave a great void but her love and our memories of her will be with us always. We are sure she is enjoying being in the presence of her Lord and Savior whom she loved and served with all her heart. Our love and prayers are with all of the family. Much love in Christ, Bill & Angie Long

I had only met Naomi one time at my Grandpa's funeral (Glenn Millikan) but I remember her vividly. She was funny and engaging and very memorable! I know that she was also a good friend to my grandma for many years. I am sorry for the loss of your mom/grandma.

Our hearts and prayers are with Naomi's family. I have enjoyed meeting Naomi and working with her at the Crisis Pregnancy Center (now Care Net) for many years. She has blessed us with her faithfulness, her heart to insure that each client received quality clothing from our clothing bank and her dry humor that had us laughing on many an occasion.

I had the best grandma God could grant me. I often told her that she filled the shoes of four grandparents. I love her so very much and will miss her always. She always put others before herself and lived a completely self-less life. She was such a regular part of my life and it will be very difficult to get used to her not being there, smiling like she does. I could write forever about countless memories, but it comes down to this: Grandma, I love you, and you were the best grandma. I miss you.
