Mrs. McGraw leaves behind a legacy of dedication, strength, and honor. Her family was the apple of her eye. She worked continually all of her adult life for her family and made them happy and productive. In her opinion, the most noble profession on Earth was mother, wife, and homemaker.
J. D. and Naomi lived all of their married years on the farm near Delhi, LA. In later years when their health started failing, they moved to Monroe to be near their children.
Naomi loved attending her church, North Monroe Baptist Church, and her Sunday School Class, Agape.
Grandsons will serve as pallbearers.
Visitation will be Monday from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM at Mulhearn Funeral Home, Sterlington Road, Monroe.
The family wishes to extend special thanks to the many friends and family who have been so wonderful in assisting Naomi and her family. A very special thank you goes to Mary Wesley and Hospice Compassus employees Daphne, the nurse, and Vickie, the nurse’s assistant.
