Naomi Hale Greenlee, 64, of Alum Creek, WV, fell asleep on Tuesday, March 31, 2020 and opened her eyes in Glory. We sorrow, but are thankful for the sweet hope of Heaven. Naomi trusted Jesus as her Savior as a young girl and because of that, as believers, we know that we will see her again.
She was born on March 20, 1956 in St. Albans to Frank and Lodema Hale.
Naomi graduated from St. Albans High School. She was a homemaker that dearly loved her family. She enjoyed quilting for her family and taking pictures of her family. She was an active member of Independent Missionary Baptist Church of Alum Creek. She loved her church. One of her favorite Scripture verses was Psalm 9:10, which says: “And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee: for Thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.” Naomi loved the Lord with all of her heart and started each day in His Word. She prayed daily for her family.
She was preceded in death by her father, Frank Hale; and sisters, Patti Slaven and Katherine Lou Hale.
Naomi is survived by her loving husband of 43 years, John Greenlee; mother, Lodema Hale of St. Albans; sisters, Frankie Hardin of Culloden and Rachel Harkins of Troy, NC; brother, James Hale of St. Albans; daughters, Rachel (Denton) McDerment and Rebecca Greenlee of Alum Creek, and Heather (Stephen) Stockton of Oxford, NC; sons, Jonathan (Jennifer) Greenlee of Alum Creek and Seth Greenlee of Ripley; and 20 grandchildren, Denton II, Liz, Susanna, Joanna, Isaac, Abby, Nate, Justus, Jeremiah, Hudson, Karolina, Olivia, Isabelle, Emily, Avonlea, Melody, Timmy, Nora, Micah and Noah.
A private service will be 3:00 p.m. Sunday, April 5, at Curry Funeral Home in Alum Creek for the family with Pastors Frank Chapman and Daniel Dent officiating. Burial will be at Beech Grove Cemetery, Yawkey.
A memorial service will be held at a later date for friends and family.
I am so sorry to hear this. I met Naomi at McKinley Junior High and we were friends through high school. Her life was an inspiration to living as a Christian. Prayers for her family.

So sorry to hear this. I remember Naomi well. She was so sweet and her smile was radiant with the love of God. We often talked scripture together because we both had a love for the Lord and His word. I know she will be greatly missed. Sympathy and prayers of comfort to husband and family

Precious Pastor Stephen, Heather & Family: We are praying for you and your family in your time of grief. We pray for God’s strength to envelope you and precious memories of Mrs. Naomi to flood your souls the days ahead to encourage you onward. As the Evangelist BIlly Graham said, “she is more alive than ever and has only changed addresses.” Although, we did not know Mrs. Greenlee personally, her testimony in the writing about her says it all. She certainly did raise a godly daughter in you Heather as you live out her legacy as a godly wife & mom. All our love & prayers to you all…”Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints” Psalm 116:15.
So sorry for your loss. A very lovely lady.
We are praying for your family! The Sparks Family@
