Naomi Esther Thompson, an educator, passed away Feb. 24, 2016, in Longmont, Colo. Rabbi Joseph Black officiated at the Feb. 29 service at Feldman Chapel. Interment followed at Mt. Nebo Cemetery. Feldman Mortuary made the arrangements.
“Naomi was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt,” the family said. “Her sense of humor and contagious laugh will linger in the hearts of all those fortunate to have known her.”
Naomi was born Feb. 1, 1943, in Hartford, Conn., to Rubin and Frieda Wolfe. The youngest of four children, she had a wonderful relationship with her grandfather William Fashinsky.
After moving to Brooklyn at an early age, she fell in love with the game of stickball. She also developed a lifelong passion for the New York Yankees, which was inspired by her father.
In 1960, she graduated with honors from Westbury High.
Naomi was involved in numerous high school sports and was the top seeded women’s high school tennis player in Nassau County.
She received her teaching degree from Queens College and became a first-grade teacher in the Patchogue-Medford School District on Long Island.
Utilizing innovative methods to enrich the needs of her students, she was one of the district’s pioneers in whole language literary instruction.
“One of the greatest gifts her students received was her recognition of each child’s needs, and her commitment to help all of them succeed,” the family said.
Naomi married Ted Thompson on May 24, 1975, in Stony Brook, NY.
Upon their retirement, the couple moved to Lafayette, Colo., in 1998 and eventually settled in Longmont in 2002.
During her retirement, Naomi volunteered at Interfaith Quilters of Longmont and the global women’s organization Zonta International.
She enjoyed reading, the theater, traveling on Road Scholar trips around the world and spending time with her granddaughters.
Naomi is survived by her husband Ted Thompson; daughter Melanie (Mitch) Goldman; siblings Elizabeth Wolfe, Mark (Julia) Wolfe and Debra (David) Schwartz; and grandchildren Hannah Goldman and Zoe Goldman.
Contributions may be made to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, 14 Pennsylvania Plaza, #1710, New York, NY, or Tru Care Hospice, 1855 Plaza Dr., Louisville, CO 80027.
