Mrs. Naomi Jordan

Naomi Radene Jordan, 88 of Henderson, Texas passed away on June 30, 2026. She was born in San Angelo, Texas on December 23, 1937. Her parents were James Allen and Daphne (Billie) McElvaney. She graduated High School in Artesia, New Mexico and married the love of her life Marion (Slim) Jordan on October 5, 1957, in Loco Hills, New Mexico. Naomi & Slim spent their early married years in small West Texas towns as Slim worked in the oil field. Naomi stayed extremely busy running the household as she & Slim had three sons over a five-year period and eventually moved to Colorado City, Texas where they raised the boys. Naomi & Slim raised the boys in a Christian home and Naomi was known as an excellent cook with an affinity for baking great pies. As the boys got older and in school, Naomi had a long career running one of the Doctor offices in Colorado City. After the boys all graduated from High School, Slim & Naomi moved to Hobbs, New Mexico as Slim continued his oil career and they eventually retired there. In 2012, Naomi and Slim moved to Henderson, Texas to be closer to the grandchildren after retirement. Naomi loved music, traveling, and enjoyed playing the piano and singing in the church choirs they attended. She was active in Calvary Baptist church all of her time spent in Henderson and cherished the friends and fellowship. She also loved games and especially valued her time playing “Mahjong” with her Henderson buddies. Her church and Mahjong buddies were key to her desire to stay in Henderson after Slim and Jim (her middle son) passed. Naomi is preceded in death by her husband Slim, her son Jim, her parents, her husband’s parents and her siblings Jim McElvaney, Ann Smith, and Bob McElvaney. She is survived by her two sons and their wives, Michael and Marsha Jordan of Colorado City, Bill and Beverly Jordan of Arlington and her daughter in law Becky Jordan of Henderson.
