Mourning the Passing of Friends: Forthcoming Funeral Services

“What we have once enjoyed we can never lose.  All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” ~ Helen Keller
Forthcoming funeral services are planned for the following friends from our community. Complete versions of these obituaries may also be found in The Payson Chronicle.

NAOMI FAE SHEPHERD ADAMS
1926 - 2018
Naomi has now completed her mortal mission and, after a grand reunion with loved ones,
she will now begin her time of joy, rest and peace in the next life. Naomi passed from this
life on Nov. 3, 2018, after a wonderful life of almost 93 years.

Naomi was born on January 15, 1926, to Charles and Lula (Holt) Shepherd in Springville,
Utah. She married Richard Louis Adams (Dick) on Nov. 2, 1946. They were sealed in the
Manti Temple on March 28, 1951. Together they raised a full house of two daughters and
five boys; she also had the added joy of welcoming a step-daughter into her home.

Family was her life and she loved it whenever the family would get together for parties and
trips. She also loved making afghans and quilts for families and friends.  

Survivors include step-daughter Janene (Loel) Dubois, her five sons, Deloy (Linda) Adams,
Kevin (Laurie) Adams, Brad (Ann) Adams, Randy (Tammy ) Adams, and Kelly (LeaAnn) Adams;
her brother Russell (Sharon) Shepherd, brother-in-law Rich Frandsen, son-in-law Vern (Nancy)
Pyne. She left a large posterity, with 33 grandchildren, 78 great-grandchildren and 7 great great-
grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Richard, and three daughters, Sunda
Lindsey, Nancy Pyne, and Mary Theresa, who passed away just after birth.

She will always be remembered for her ability to never let a frown take over her beautiful smile.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, November 10, 2018, at 1 PM at the Payson Chapel
located at 225 South 400 East Payson, Utah. A viewing will be held prior to the service at the
chapel from 11 AM to 12:30 PM.  Interment will be held at the Springville Evergreen Cemetery.

We are grateful for the loving care provided for the past three years by the great staff at the VA
Assisted Living Center in Payson and the care also given by A-Plus Hospice.
