Naomi J. Spencer

Naomi was born May 6, 1926 at Louisville, Kentucky to Frank and Mayme (Weber) Hazenbuhler. She attended school in Louisville.
Naomi was working for Allied in Louisville when it was purchased by Goodall Manufacturing in the 1950’s. Naomi moved to Ogallala as a result, and worked for Goodall Manufacturing, and then Arnold Engineering until her retirement in the early 1990’s. Most recently, she had made her home at Indian Hills Manor.
Naomi enjoyed her home and her yard. She loved taking walks and spending time with her daughter, Jeanette’s daycare children. Many those children saw Naomi as another grandma, and nicknamed her “Gram.” She will be sorely missed by her family, friends and the many children who she connected with over the years through daycare.
