IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Naoma A

(Platts) Livingston

November 12, 1940 – March 23, 2024

Obituary

Naoma A. Livingston found peace on the morning of March 23, 2024, with her loving husband, son & daughter at her side. Born in Chicago on November 12, 1940, to Frank & Andree (Eliet) Platts, she entered the world on the Armistice Day Blizzard and departed it after a spring snowfall. She grew up in Twin Lakes, WI, the eldest of six children and made a life in the small-town community that she loved. She graduated from Wilmot Union High School, and in 1958 pursued an underwriting position with Marsh McLennan in downtown Chicago. She had an artistic eye and generous nature. Her siblings recall the many times she'd return home with treasured ornaments from Marshall Field's for their Christmas tree, and always helping her mother at the family home.  On July 23, 1966, she would embark upon a 57-year marriage with her beloved "Bob", the young infantry soldier whose nice Irish family summered on Lake Mary. When he returned from Vietnam, they would raise a family and build their home. Naoma retired after 50 years tellering "at the bank", where she was always known for her outgoing disposition. Over the years she volunteered many hours, fundraising on behalf of American Legion Post 544, and when  her children were young, she assisted with costuming & make-up for a local theater group she helped form, known as The Gaslight Players.  Most recently she will be remembered as a woman of simple pleasures: happiest in the presence of her family, "Grandma" to Victoria Rose, Evelyn Andree & Sophia Violet, a gentle observer of wildlife on the marsh at her home, and a little lady with a big heart doing her best for all of us.

She is survived by her loyal husband Bob Livingston; loving son Robert Livingston & his wife Corinne; three adoring grandchildren; devoted daughter Yvette Livingston; dear siblings, Frank (Patricia) Platts; Pete (Arlene) Platts; Juanita (Mark) Schittina; and Alice Shuping; life-long friend Sue Johnson; and many cherished nieces & nephews whom she loved. She was preceded in death by beloved sister Mary Ann Platts.
