Clara Naomi Proffitt went to be with her Lord and Savior June 8, 2016. She was preceded in death by her parents Archie Blakely and Hazel Blakely of Harlan, Iowa and her husband Bill Proffitt. She was born and raised on a family farm in Iowa and had many fond memories of farm life and family gatherings. She attended Iowa State University where she met her future husband who was in the Navy at the time. After their marriage, Naomi and Bill began a life of travel living in Iran, Nigeria, New Guinea, Singapore, and Indonesia and visiting many more countries. She was a gentle soul and always sought out the missionaries in their area and worked with them in some capacity.
