Naomi Ruth Baker
87, of Mooresville, passed away on May 3, 2022 at home surrounded by her family. Naomi was born on October 27, 1934 in Paoli, Indiana to the late Cornelius New and Vanga (Tucker) New.

She was a long-time member of the Spring Hill Christian Center in Mooresville. She enjoyed spending time with her family, traveling, reading, and collecting dolls.
