Naomi Williams Haywood, age 93, of Hayes, died Oct. 22, 2020 at home with family by her side. Naomi, being a native of Naxera, moved to Guinea when she married Earl, was a homemaker, and supported her family making crab pots and working in the cafeteria at Achilles School. She also had a passion for baking, cooking and enjoyed being outdoors working in her beautiful yard and flower beds. Naomi will always be remembered for the nurturing love she shared with her family, her beautiful smile, and the way she took pride in being stylishly dressed anytime she went out. Her style always turned heads, and many said she looked 10 years younger.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Earl Haywood Sr., and is survived by her children, Earl Haywood Jr. (Mary Ellen), William F. “Red” Haywood, Barbara Ann Brown, Debra Rossman; grandchildren, Sharon Taylor, Jennifer Taylor, Walton Scott Brown (Lore), Timmy Brown (Niki); great-grandchildren, Cody Nicole Brown, LaKayla Cooke, Keyara Cooke, and future great-great-grandson, Braylon Johnson.
