Naomi Alice Lanier

Naomi Alice Lanier, 79, of Bartlesville, started her final journey to The Journey Home but on the way she leaped into the arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She entered heaven on Monday, September 23, 2024. Naomi was born the daughter of Ralph and Zora (Littleton) Clemens on June 9, 1945, in Homedale, Idaho. She was raised in Homedale and the nearby community of Nampa with her eight siblings. She was the second youngest and of the eight siblings, only her younger brother, Carl Clemens, survives. Once Naomi started her family, she began her adventure in life. Not only was she a mom to four children but she was a race car driver. She raced stock cars and drag raced during the 1970’s. In fact, she was such a good driver she was banned from the women’s circuit and raced with the men. She was a hard worker and a good provider for her family. She worked many jobs, including vacuum repairman, as a salesperson, and she cleaned and managed the Black Token, an arcade and sandwich shop. In 1990 she moved to Bartlesville. At some point the Lord showed her a vision of the Lighthouse Outreach Center, a Christian-based homeless shelter, and Naomi spent the next 22 years serving the Lord and helping others. Naomi accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior in 1982 and it is fair to say she never looked back. Her first love was for God; second was her family, and third was everyone else. Her sons remember fondly that everyone called her mom and loved her as their own. Naomi never took a break. She was constantly in motion, taking care of her home, yard and flowers. Oftentimes when her sons were visiting she would pull out her list of honey-do’s that should “only take a few minutes.” She loved cookies and cream flavored ice cream and drinking coffee. Mom, we love you and will miss you! Love, Dennis and Russell. Naomi is survived by her sons, Dennis (Bonnie) Halcom and Russell (Christina) Halcom; brother, Carl Clemens; grandchildren, David Scarberry, Tracy Halcom, Angie Scarberry, Alisha Remaly, Pam Hicks, Kayla Davis, Cody Halcom, Dustin Halcom, Brandon Halcom and Laura Stone; and nineteen great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her son, Robert Halcom; and daughter, Denise Wagoner. Visitation will be held on Monday from 10-8 and Tuesday 9-1 at the Davis Family Funeral Home & Crematory – Walker Brown Chapel. Services will be held on Tuesday, at 2 p.m., at the Davis Family Funeral Home & Crematory – Walker Brown Chapel, with Rev. Connie Brand officiating. Interment will follow in the White Rose Cemetery. Services are under the direction of Carter Davis and the Davis Family Funeral Home & Crematory – Walker Brown Chapel.
