Naomi Allen Carson, 95, formerly of Blackfoot and most recently Idaho Falls, passed away April 28, 2012, at Idaho Falls Rehabilitation Center. Hospice Alliance assisted with her care. She was born January 12, 1917, in Portland, Oregon, the third child of four born to Harvey and Rhoda Allen. She grew up in the Blackfoot area and in 1934, she graduated from Blackfoot High School. While working as a nanny, she met a neighbor who became her future husband and on November 30, 1939, Thanksgiving Day, she married Harry Christensen in Blackfoot. They later divorced. He passed away in 1988. On November 3, 1972, she married Glen Carson in Salt Lake and 3 months later he passed away February 3, 1973. Their marriage was later solemnized in the LDS Temple. Naomi was a hard worker all her life both in her home and outside of her home. She excelled in the school of hard knocks. She worked in bakeries, cooked for everyone that owned a pot or pan that needed her help and she was a cook for EG&G for 20 years. The times she could be a stay-at-home mom were the best. She was proud of her children and grandchildren. The happiest times in her life were when she could hold and cuddle a baby. She was extremely excited knowing that her next great-great-grandchild would be a little girl to join the other 2 boys. She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where she always tried to hold a responsible church calling when her work schedule allowed for it. She taught the Mia Maids for a time and kept in touch with those girls the rest of her life. She made a concentrated effort to attend the temple often. She was a big supporter of the Humanitarian effort by making hundreds of baby booties, shawls, baby quilts, and anything else having to do with babies. Above and beyond her love of her family was her love of the Savior whom she knew; she didn't hesitate sharing her love and testimony of the Gospel with others. The crowning glory of our precious mother was being with babies. She will have a special place in heaven with those precious little ones. She is survived by the following: A son, Eric (Jeannie) Christensen of Shelley; daughter, Lori (George) Christensen-Lake of Idaho Falls; and a son, William Allen (Coralie) Christensen of Salt Lake City, Utah; 10 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband; a grandson, William Allen Wilkins and a great-grandson, Porter Kory Johnson; and her siblings: Harold Allen, Judy Dickson, and George Allen. Funeral services will be at 11:00 a.m. Friday, May 4, 2012, at the St. Leon LDS Ward Chapel, 6925 N. 15 East with Brother Val Lowder conducting. The family will visit with friends from 9:30 a.m. until time of services at the church. Burial will be in the Lincoln Cemetery.
