Naomi Rose

Bocanegra

Miss Naomi Rose Bocanegra, affectionately known as "Nay Nay," age 1, of Canon, Georgia, passed away on Monday, September 28, 2026, at Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Children's Hospital.

Born on October 9, 2024, in Athens, Georgia, Naomi was the precious daughter of Miguel Bocanegra and Melissa (Martinez) Bocanegra. From the moment she entered this world, Naomi was a beautiful gift from God who brought immeasurable joy and love to her family.

Naomi was a happy, joyful little girl with a personality that could brighten any room. She loved singing and dancing with her sister and brothers, and her favorite movie was Moana. She especially loved the song "Shiny" and could happily listen to it over and over again.

Full of energy and adventure, Naomi loved being outside and would say "jump" when she wanted to get on the trampoline, where she would have gladly spent the entire afternoon. She also had a tender and nurturing side, carefully caring for her baby dolls and pushing them around the house in their stroller.

Some of her family's most treasured memories will be of Naomi hiding behind the kitchen curtains, waiting to be found. As they called her name, her sweet giggles and squeals would give away her hiding place. She was friendly and loving, always ready to wave hello to those she met. Whenever someone told her, "I love you," Naomi would sweetly answer, "I wuv you."

Though her life was far too brief, Naomi filled every day she was given with happiness, laughter, and love. She was the joy of her family, their precious baby girl, and a beautiful little angel who will forever be loved and deeply missed on this side of Heaven.

Left to cherish Naomi's beautiful memory are her parents, Miguel and Melissa Bocanegra; her siblings, Kami Martinez, Elijah Bocanegra, and Silas Bocanegra; along with a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members, and friends who loved her dearly.

The family will receive friends on Sunday, October 4, 2026, from 5:00 until 7:00 p.m. at Coile and Hall Funeral Directors. A funeral service celebrating Naomi's precious life will be held on Monday, October 5, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Lavonia Church of God, 107 Bear Creek Road, Lavonia, GA 30553, with the Rev. Adam Tripp officiating. Naomi will be laid to rest privately at Memorial Garden of Prayer.
