NORWICH – Naomi W. Gray, 88, of Norwich, peacefully passed away Nov. 7, 2011, while at home with her family by her side.
She was born Nov. 8, 1922 in the Town of Smithville, the daughter of the late Raymond and Anna Rose (Mudge) Wilson.

She was a strong willed woman who enjoyed life and dearly loved her family. She enjoyed golf and her weekly game of cards with her friends. Over the years, many friends and family members received handmade knitting gifts from her.
Her wishes were to donate her body to the SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse. Therefore there will be no services at this time. Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Chenango Co., 21 Hayes Street, Norwich, NY 13815; or the Oxford Emergency Squad, P.O. Box 172, Oxford, NY 13830.
