Naomi Maxine Lifejoy (Mademann)

81, born May 14, 1944 in St. Paul, passed away October 25, 2025. 

Preceded by parents, Earl and Beverly Mademann; sisters, Sharon Dunn and Eileen Kueppers; brother-in-law, Mike Dunn. 

Survived by siblings, Joyce Juza and Jeff Mademann; in-laws, Jim Kueppers, Joe Juza; nieces and nephews, David, Paul and Jim Juza, Beth Martin, Kay Nichols, Shanna Coughlin, Tammy Henry, Jeff Mademann Jr., their spouses; and many great-nieces and nephews. 

She grew up on the West Side of St. Paul, graduated from Humboldt High School, then on to Ancker School of Nursing and became an RN. She worked as a nurse, and later as an executive secretary. Naomi was an independent, caring, quirky, artistically creative person, with an inquisitive mind and was an activist-at-heart. "Someone should write a letter!" From being a nurse to a self-proclaimed Goddess - she made life interesting and unforgettable. We won't forget your obsessions with Queen and Freddie Mercury, roombas, your gourmet dinners and so much more. And in the words of Freddie Mercury, "The show must go on!"

A celebration of life will be held Saturday, November 22, 2025, 10:00 am-12:00 pm, with a time of sharing at 11:30 am, at Bradshaw Celebration of Life Center, 4600 Greenhaven Dr., White Bear Lake, MN. Followed by a lunch. Any memorials, please send to your favorite charity.
