Naomi Norsworthy was born in 1877 in New York City. Naomi's mother migrated from England two years prior to marry an engineer, who was also from England. Naomi's paternal grandmother hoped to have a granddaughter so that she could look after and support her mother just as Naomi's mother had done for her. Naomi's mother even went as far as to convert to the same religious faith as her. Naomi's mother played a significant role in her life. Selfless duty and devotion were ingrained in her. She was also trained in domestic skills.
Growing up, Naomi greatly enjoyed playing with her two younger brothers. Her father even nicknamed her "boy". Naomi's mother felt that all of her children should have educational advantages (Scarborough & Furumoto 191).
