Naomi Breckenridge, 93, of Beedeville, passed from this life on May 16, 2025. She was born on February 29, 1932, in Cow Lake, Arkansas, to Alva Lane and Marjorie Marybell (Earls) Coffel.
Naomi was a faithful member of the Beedeville Church of Christ and lived her life with quiet grace and deep devotion to her faith and family. She was known for her warm heart, generous spirit, and the comfort of her home-cooked meals, especially her beloved meatloaf and pot roast, which brought loved ones to the table time and again. Naomi worked as a teacher's aide for the Beedeville School and a Hostess for Newport Hospital.
A talented seamstress, Naomi found joy in sewing and helping others look and feel their best by fixing their hair. Her hands were rarely still, always busy with something that brought happiness to others.
She especially cherished family reunions and large family dinners, where laughter echoed and memories were made. Naomi had a way of bringing people together and making them feel loved.
She will be deeply missed by all who knew her and will be remembered for the love she poured into every stitch, every meal, and every moment spent with her family.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of sixty-six years, Herschel Breckenridge; her brothers, Elwood Coffel, Roy James Coffel, and Elvis Coffel; her sisters, Muriel Pipkins, Lucille Smith, Bonnie Coley, and Clara Hutson.
She is survived by her son, Danny Breckenridge and his wife, Pam of Beedeville; her daughter, Rhonda Melton of Hot Springs; her grandchildren, Jay Sawyer, Jason Breckenridge, Adam Breckenridge, and Syndal Cook; her great-grandchildren, Zach Breckenridge, Emma Claire Sawyer, Lily Sawyer, Emily Barnett, Kayson Breckenridge, Lucy Breckenridge, Susanna Breckenridge, Georgie Breckenridge, Ryder Cook and Mylee Joe Cook; her great-great grandchild, Luna Breckenridge; special friend, Lilly Mae McFadden; foster daughter; Corla Capeheart of North Little Rock, foster grandchildren; Dawn Capeheart of Florida and Nickie Capeheart, and numerous nieces, nephews and friends, and her two special fur babies LuLu and Patches.
Those honored to serve as pallbearers are Jay Sawyer, Adam Breckenridge, Jerry Smith, Zach Breckenridge, Kayson Breckenridge, and Mark Cofley. Honorary pallbearers are Jason Breckenridge and Ryder Cook.
Visitation will be from 5:00-7:00 on Friday May 23, 2025. Service will be at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 24, 2025, with Jay Sawyer and Adam Breckenridge officiating. Interment at Eight Mile Cemetery.
