Noel was born in Texas and raised in Orosi, Ca. where he attended Orosi schools, spending most of his life in the Orosi/Visalia area.

He moved to Portola 3 years ago to be near his older children, where he was able to turn his life around and acquire not only his family but as it has been said " A Village" as many of his new friends also became his family.

Noel is survived by his children James (Laura) Lopthien, Amber (Johnny) Castro of Portola, and Liza Villarreal of Kingsburg.

Brothers, David (Linda) Villarreal of Orosi, Ca. Albert (Karen) Villarreal of Monson, Ca. and Mark (Laura) Villarreal of Three Rivers, Ca.

Sisters, Socorro Estrada of Corpus Christi, Texas. Vicky (Ignacio) Provencio of Fresno, CA.

Anita Herrera of Fresno Ca and Rebecca Fernandez of Clovis CA.

Many grand babies, nieces, nephews and a large extended family.

Services will be held at Smith Mountain Cemetery on April 6th at 10:00am with Pastor Greg Marr officiating and a memorial in Portola, Ca. at a later date.

If desired flowers or condolences may be sent to Smith Mountain Cemetery in care of Noel Villarreal Friday morning before funeral.
