Rachel Bassette Noel

You always meant so much to me. I will miss you always.

I shall always cherish the memory of Mrs. Rachel Noel. She was such a beautiful person. To the family, May God keep you ever in his care.

It was the late 60's when I was at East High and met "Angie's mother", Mrs. Noel. I still recall how amazed I was that someone's mother was so celebrated, such an activist and such a strong woman. Some years later when I was living in New Jersey, working for the Girl Scouts, I again heard colleagues talking about Rachel Noel who was then active nationally. When I studied feminism and found language to describe my experience as a woman, I had to think back to the first "feminist" I had ever...

May her soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed rest in peace. Amen. Mrs. Noel was one of my professors while I was a student at Metropolitan State College. I learned so much in her class. She will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
