Naomi was a great lady always there to help and contribute to her friends and community.
She will be missed by many.

Miss Vaught was one of my favorite teachers ever...she had such a marvelous sense of humor.  She is the only teacher who came to make a house visit to my parents...scared me to death... I figured I had done something terrible and didn't know what it was.  It was just what she did to better understand her students.  During sewing class, I made a pair of Bermuda shorts out of awning material...she kept her cool and never once said, "This is the ugliest pair of shorts I have ever seen."  In cooking class when we were learning to make biscuits...I convinced my group to make out dough in the shape of a sword...she called it creative!  What a gal...

Miss Vaught I have so many special memories  of you and MHS. May  you rest in peace knowing how you helped so many "future homemakers" start their lives.

She was a great teacher and a highly respected individual. She is now with The Lord.

Miss Vaught,You sent many young ladies out into the world with at least a modicum of knowledge of how to feed and dress out future families. You had so much patience. Our class of 1960 was a little prepared because of you.Thank you. Sandie Brown Stevens

I have so many fond memories of my high school years thanks to Ms. Vaught! She was a great teacher, confidant, and was always there for me when I needed her.  May she rest in peace with our Lord and Savior.

Miss Vaught was such a lady and the nicest home room teacher I ever had! Every school day started with her smile.  I still have the card she gave to each of her students during the last week of our senior year!  She will be missed by many!  (MHS Class of 1960)

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Since  she taught Home Economics at Manatee High School, I was never a student of hers, but have often heard many most favorable comments about her from female members of the Class of 58.  My sincere sympathy is expressed to her family for the loss of such an accomplished individual.

Aunt Naomi, you are the most independent, strong willed person I've ever known.  As some have said "One tough cookie".  Love you always.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

I had the pleasure of meeting this great woman and every time we were together, she made me laugh.  May she rest in peace.
