I'm blessed to have known Noonie and am saddened by her passing. She raised a great family filled with some awesome people. I knew her to be a strong woman that tells it like it is. She always made me feel welcome in her home and she was forever wanting you to spill the beans on who her secret Santa was. My heart goes out to all family, friends, and those who hold her dear.
