Naomi Maude Smith

Naomi Maude Smith September 30,1929 - April 14, 2025 Naomi Maude Smith went home to her Lord and Savior on Monday, April 14, 2025, at the age of 95. She was born to Robert and Bertha (Erteld) Smith of Scranton Iowa. She graduated from Glidden High School in 1947. She attended West Suburban Hospital School of Nursing in Oak Park, IL in 1947 and continued at Wheaton College for BSN and then on to Graduate School of Missions at Columbia International University for an MA. God used this to prepare her for going to Congo as a missionary nurse with the Evangelical Free Church of America. She spent 15 yrs in Congo, working and teaching at Tandala Medical Center. She was called home to Boone, IA to help care for her father. While there, she was the Nursing Director of a long-term care facility for 2 yrs. A new door opened for her in St. Paul, MN, where she taught at Mounds Midway School of Nursing for 4 yrs. She transitioned to working at United Hospital in St. Paul, MN in intensive rehabilitation as Quality Assurance Coordinator for 13 yrs. She joined the staff of Nurses Christian Fellowship as area director of North Plains, which encompassed 5 states. She worked with student groups in universities and community colleges as well with volunteers and RN nurse groups for 14 yrs before retiring. She, along with her sister Esther, moved into Covenant Village of Golden Valley, MN in 2001, where she resided until her passing. She was a member of New Hope EFCA. During her life journey, God enabled her to travel the world and experience many cultures with His working in and through the lives of people. A life verse in Colossians 1:10,11 became her goal. "That you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness." She was preceded in death by her parents and sister Esther. She is survived by many cousins and friends. There will be a celebration of life at a later date. Memorial gifts may be given to Raccoon River Bible Camp, EFCA Congo Missions, or Nurses Christian Fellowship.
