Our leader, our inspiration, our fun sister. May her memory be a blessing. Jocie Wurzburg

Sending our deepest sympathy.   We came in contact with Novella at Monique's during some yearly holiday seasons, but only knew of this special lady as "Mom"!  Often we don't learn of the many accomplishments until the person has passed.  She was surely a remarkable woman!     - Sue and Jim Wakefield

Miss you Novella! A one of a kind! Love, Merril

It´s been decades since I crossed paths with Novella, but I will never forget her spirit. A truely unique woman has left us, yet left her mark on humanity.

Sending my deepest sympathy at the passing of Novella. She worked with my husband (who passed in 2024) for many years in the Prison Ministry. She will be missed by more people than you know because of her dedicate to those in need.

May her memory be a blessing. Millie Katzen

What a great lady, friend and radio icon. She was a "force for good to be reckoned with"
