Naomi joined her loving parents, brothers, and sisters on Halloween 1925 in the Frederick County community of Shockeysville,Va. Her given name was Gladys Naomi Setretha, with Setretha being added at the request of a visiting namesake aunt. She was the sixth of nine children born to Oscar Wood and Lottie Mason Luttrell.
Her brothers, Elber, Lynn, John, Harold (Bud), Phillip and sisters, Mildred, Gyla Grace, and Maxine preceded her in death. She was a member of the Shockeysville United Methodist Church. As a young woman she set out to see the world with friends taking jobs in only the best resorts from Maine to Florida.
In 1955 she married Marcus M. Adams, a beef cattle farmer and owner of the Esso station on Amherst Street. He died in 2009.
She raised two children, Marcus and Cheryl, while doing bookkeeping for both operations and managing the station. Marcus still operates the family farm in Frederick County while Chery Reynolds (Rick) lives in Winchester. She was also a dedicated volunteer at Winchester Medical Center for 22 years.
She enjoyed traveling and visited Hawaii and many countries in Europe. In 2004 she traveled back to Maine with her daughter to see the resort of Poland Springs where she once worked.
She resided at Westminster Canterbury for the last five years and traveled around on her scooter with a Sam and Omies bumper sticker, her favorite breakfast spot in Nags Head. The love of her life were her grandchildren, Setretha Orndorff Rosalino, Katherine Naomi Adams, Gnegy (Katie), Solomon Adams, and Mary Adams and great grandchildren, MacKenzie Taylor, Damian and Max Rosalino.
In the peaceful early morning hours of November 4 with family members at her side, she once again joined her loving parents, brothers, and sisters.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Fellowship Fund at Shenandoah Valley Westminster-Canterbury or the WMC Ladies Auxiliary Fund.
Family will receive friends at the Omps Funeral Home Friday evening from 6-9 p.m. A celebration of her life will be held Saturday11 a.m. at the Shenandoah Valley Westminster-Canterbury Chapel with refreshments in the Abbey following the service.
