Naomi was born September 20, 1921 in McClain County, Oklahoma, daughter of the late James E. Wilson and the late Tommie Julian Wilson. She and her husband Ben lived in several places while he worked with Halliburton, and eventually settled in Coteau. Naomi was a homemaker who lived for the love and care of her family. She held the title of “Best Bread Maker around” baking the most delicious yeast rolls. Some of her other pastimes included sewing and quilting, which she made quilts for all of her children and the grandchildren as well. Her only vice was eating and enjoying a honeybun. Naomi absolutely adored her family, especially the grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren. The times shared with them were cherished by her and will be forever kept in the hearts of her family.
She is survived by her daughters, Donna Ruth McClure of Youngsville and Anita Babineaux of New Iberia; seven grandchildren; 10 great grandchildren; 3 great great grandchildren; and her sister, Anita Stidham of Chickasha, OK.
Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Ben Harrell McClure; her son, Tommie McClure; her son-in-law, Richard Babineaux; her daughter-in-law, Jane McClure; and her sister and brothers, Joyce Allen, JE Wilson, Reece Wilson and DeArthur Wilson.
