Naomi "Nooni" Tillinghast ... enjoyed gardening; at 57

DOVER - Naomi "Nooni" Tillinghast, 57, died on Thursday, Dec. 26, 2019, after a long battle with cancer.
Naomi had a sparkling personality and an impish sense of humor. She was compassionate and giving, and loved to share anything she could with those around her. She grew up in Durham where she especially loved to hunt for turtles, frogs and other wildlife in the Mill Pond.

She is survived by her loving parents, Ed and Margaret Tillinghast of Durham; her children Jaimie Crotty, Jason Crotty, Richard Crotty, and Michael Turmelle; her grandchildren Ashlie Weston, Hunter Fonseca, Owen Crotty and Paislee Crotty; her sister; four brothers; and longtime companion Paul O'Connor.
