Noreen Newton

I am very sad about her death and wish to write about our loss but have been struggling to choose the words. She was a strong and dynamic woman with an incredible story, and she will continue to have a lasting effect on our profession as we evolve. Noreen challenged me on many levels over the years, and I always tried to challenge her in return. She always rose to the occasion. Her perspective on our aviation community was poignant, but her ability to invoke deep thoughts while provoking...

Huge condolences to Noreen's family friends colleagues and acquaintances. What a loss! I was quite devastated to hear of Noreen's death, even though I haven't seen her for decades. I remember her so well - when my family moved to Ten Mile Point when I was 11, my younger sister (Noreen's age) and I had much fun with Noreen and her siblings, especially Ailis, going between our houses, to the beach, woods, etc. I can still recollect her ready, beaming smile, her voice and laugh, and the...

Super sad to hear of Noreen´s passing . I met her at a neighbourhood party. She was a beautiful, vibrant, friendly and interesting person with an amazing smile. I admired her role as a female pilot "captain"and she always spoke fondly of her sons. My deepest condolences to the Newton family. Spread your wings and keep flying Noreen

There are times when you read the passing of someone you adore and you can´t imagine the planet without them. Noreen was that beautiful woman for me! I´ve known her since 1989 as her flight attendant and friend. There was only laughter when you had the pleasure of her crew. Thank you Noreen for your trailblazing, your stories, your unwavering professionalism, but mostly just you. You beautiful soul. My deepest condolences to the Newton family. Godspeed Noreen! xo

What very sad news. Noreen and I and our sisters played together as kids growing up a few streets apart - I remember her so clearly, belting along on her bike with a happy grin on her face (and one one occasion I believe with baby brother Harry in her bike basket) . Our paths briefly crossed again in high school for a semester - she was always someone I admired as a true original - daring, funny and smart - and I regret not getting to know her as an adult - my heart goes out to the Newton...

I was saddened to read this today. I worked with Noreen out of Victoria as her cabin crew. The mornings I could hear her laughter even before I got to the crew room, I knew then, it was going to be a good day! She was an amazing person and pilot. Only clear skies ever when I flew with Noreen. Keeping you all close in my heart. - Christa Southern
