We were very sorry to read that Naomi Doti had passed away. Naomi was a long-time member of the Shawnee Bridge Club at the Civic Center where we played bridge every Monday for the past l4 years. I remember the last time Noami came and couldn’t find her name tag, although everyone knew who she was. I think she was just checking to see how many high score gold stars she had. She will be missed. We offer our prayers and condolences to her family.

I wish to express my deepest sympathy to all of you. I am in charge of a bridge club that plays at Regents Walk once a month and Naomi was a member of my group. Needless to say, she was a very popular member, she was always so gracious and caring. She will be sorely missed not only by me but by all of the other members of the group.
I will be out of town when her memorial service is held, but I did want you to know how grateful I am to have known her.
May God bless all of you.

I would like to send my condolences to the friends and family of Naomi. I knew her from our days at Rosebud School near Wakenda, MO, we were such close friends. We both went different ways and lost contact, but I never forgot what a good friend she was. We were kids and I can remember how we would make nests for the Easter Bunny at the school.
Terri and Alan, we are thinking of you during this sad time, and we will always remember Naomi. She was a kind and special person.
Love
Mom an Dad
I was very sorry to see that she had passed away. I actually worked with her when I was in high school at Montgomery Wards. She was a wonderful lady.
I wish to express my deepest sympathy in the passing of Naomi Doty. I have the fondest memories of our antique outings together through the years. Naomi came along an many outings with Diane and I. I will never forget her fondeness for birds. She could not get around as fast as Diane and I, but would take breaks on a bench sipping her water. I will sadly miss her company and our conversations. Fondly, Lynn Schutzel
