with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She was born Naomi Frances Cross
in Washington DC on November 26, 1923. Her Parents were George

marriage to H. Max Deal on January 17, 1945. They celebrated over 65
years of married life until Max went to be with the Lord on October 9,

She was a loving and faithful wife, mother, grandmother and great
grandmother, as well as being a supportive daughter and sister to her
brother, George F. Cross, and her sister, Elizabeth 'Betty' Cross, both

active membership at St. Luke's Lutheran Church in Charlotte. Naomi has
always had a great love for children and started a Kindergarten at
Incarnation Lutheran and administered it.

the Wilkie Beatty Circle at Incarnation Lutheran and was a member of the
Lutheran Church Women.
Naomi is survived by three sons, Ronald Max Deal of Charlotte, Mark
and his wife Tracy Deal of Charlotte, John and his wife Shelley Deal
formerly of Charlotte now residing in San Antonio TX. She was also a
proud grandmother of 9, and great-grandmother of 10.
Her life revolved around her husband, her family and friends and her
service to God. She and her gentle caring manner will be greatly missed by
family and friends alike.
The family will receive friends at Harry & Bryant Co. 500 Providence
