Noel Phelps Obituary
Danbury, NH — Noel Ira Phelps died unexpectedly at Portsmouth Regional Hospital on December 25, 2021 in Portsmouth, NH at the age of 77.
Noel was born on June 14, 1944 in Franklin, NH to Kimball and Verna Phelps.
He was a lifelong 77 year resident of Danbury, NH and employed at the Danbury Highway Department starting at the age of 16 years old for 12 years. Then Phelps Construction for 25 years until returning to the Danbury Highway Department. Noel devoted his entire life to the town he loved.
Noel was well known to always lend a hand, a quick equipment or driving lesson to anyone. Danbury will certainly be left with an empty spot in their hearts.
He was a kind, humble, hard working individual who always brought flowers and never wore matching socks. Remember, life is too short to wear matching socks.
Noel is predeceased by his parents.
Surviving family members include his daughter, Amber Phelps and her son Parker of Concord, NH. His son, Nicholas Phelps, his wife Katherine Phelps and their son Noah of Deering, NH; siblings, Dana Phelps and his wife Terri of Chichester, NH; niece, Darlene Phelps Foss and her husband Whitey Foss of Chichester, NH.
Calling hours will be January 1, 2022 from 4pm - 7pm at Chadwick Funeral Service, 235 Main Street, New London, NH. A celebration of life is scheduled for 1pm on January 2, 2022 at Danbury Community Center in Danbury, NH. A graveside service will later be scheduled in the Spring.
All are welcome to attend and celebrate Noel's life. In Lieu of flowers, potluck food can be dropped off at Danbury Community Center anytime after 12pm on January 2, 2022 or a donation can be made to Danbury Community Center in honor of Noel.

I had the honor of knowing Noel for a few years. He always brought me " posies". He was a dear kind wonderful person. Salt of the earth type of person. Heaven gained an angel for sure.

Such a good and honest man. I don't believe I can even think of a time when I didn't see a smile on his face upon greeting him. I'll never forget the last time I talked with him, shortly before his accident, how he just lit up when he talked about his grandbabies. His love of family, friends and community was strong. We will miss him.

Noel would not want sadness at this time but would want you to remember a special time you had with him and carry that in your heart!

You taught me how to milk a cow so you could quit doing it every morning and night. I sure didn’t know what I was getting into and you didn’t tell me

I cannot be there to celebrate his life, but I will remember my big cousin fondly every time I drive by his home or recieve a bouquet of flowers. He will forever be known as the money man by my grandchildren and many other children. Whenever he would see a child, he would ask the parents if it was okay and then he would give them a golden dollar. He must have asked for them specially at the bank, because he never ran out. That describes Noel, full of surprises and never running out of kindness.
