NAOMI RUTH DOPSON
Naomi Ruth Dopson, “Nemo”, of Hansen, Idaho passed away February 28, 2014, at Bridgeview Estates, due to complications from ulcerated tooth surgery at St. Luke’s Hospital, just two days after her 92nd birthday.
Nemo was born in Twin Falls on February 26, 1922, to Charles “Charlie” Newton Dopson and Ivy Myrtle McIntyre Dopson, the youngest of six children. After the family had moved to the Magic Valley by train from Weir City, Kansas, they settled on a farm south of Kimberly. Some years later, after she graduated from high school, her folks bought a ranch near Hansen, where she lived the rest of her life, except the last few years, which were spent at Woodstone Assisted Living.
Nemo attended Albion State Normal School, earning a teaching degree and went on to teach in elementary schools in Aberdeen, Idaho Falls, Mullan, and Twin Falls, Idaho. She taught school for 5 years, and then worked for Dr. Carpenter, a dentist, for some 24 years, becoming a Certified Dental Assistant.
