Mrs Brooks ' behavior and example defined what it meant to be elegant and supportive. I never saw her without that classic smile and she had the ability to always find something good and encouraging to say. She and her husband were the consummate role models that my wife wife and I tried to emulate. As the glue that held a distinguished family together and made all around her just a little better, she will be sorely missed and will live long in the memories of those she touched.

Naomi was such a wonderful person. I got to know her through our church - we sang in a choir together, and we both grew up in Alexandria. She was always upbeat, supportive and gracious. A proud mother, loving wife and friend. She was also my sorority sister.
One of my last encounters with her wasn't about tooting a horn or finding out the latest "news." She asked about the health of my uncle, Joseph Edwards. My uncle and Leo were Masons. He had been struggling after having a stroke two years ago, and Naomi and Leo always asked how he was, visited when they could during his illness. My uncle passed away in April of this year. Her concern and care meant so much to me.
My condolences to her beloved family.
God has her now, and I can see her spreading her kindness and bright spirit through heaven. Thank you, God, for letting her touch my life.

A graceful and charming lady. She was the graceful hostess at receptions that I was delighted to attend when a member of her husbands command.
My deepest sympathy is extended to General Brooks, the best boss I ever had, and to the children who reflect so well on their parents.
