I bought some Amish children prints 38 years ago and Nancy is my favorite painter. I have followed her career and loved everything she has done. I got brave in 2006 and started water painting myself. I am no artist but watching color come alive through painting has helped me through some rough times. Nancy was a beautiful woman and I am so glad I followed her life for years.

I never met Nancy, but have loved her art for many years. I have several of her "Amish" & animal prints hanging on the walls of our home. She was truly able to capture the real Amish life & her painting of animals could not be more true to form.

I´m a longtime lover of Nancy´s work. I discovered her many years ago in an add in a magazine. I started collecting her prints and have them in every room in my home. My master bedroom is decorated around her artwork including "Jeff" , "Twins", "Quilts"´, "Flower Girl", "Patience", "Faith", and others. I have 3 prints in my kitchen, 2 in my family room, one in my dining room, 1 in the stairway, one in the upstairs hallway and I´m probably forgetting some. She was by far my favorite artist. I wish I could have bought every print she released. I was so saddened when I came upon her obituary. I had a lifelong dream of visiting her studio. I just wanted to tell someone how much she and her work have meant to me over the years. I´m a huge animal lover and always admired her love of animals and her beautiful animal paintings. My deepest condolences to her family. The world has lost a very, very special and talented person. May she Rest In Peace surrounded by her beloved pets.

I was out and about shopping and one day I went into a store in Mount Shasta CA. I saw a large painting with an Angel. From there I was in the place selling paintings. I was so excited I found two more beautiful Angels in these gorgeous frames. I bought them both. I dearly love my pictures. They mean a lot to me. I always wanted to meet her. I am sadden that she has passed. But I feel I got something great from her. If I see more paintings or prints, I will be adding them to my collection. You can see the love in her paintings.
My heart goes out to you guys. God Blessed

Have loved Nancy's work for many years. Especially her Amish art as my husband & I have several close friends in the Amish community, & her animals, particularly the chickens & cats. Also her Great Danes, as they are my love breed. Many of Nancy's painting look more like photographs, such perfection & lifelike. Thank you!

I can´t believe she´s gone. She was SO full of life. She taught me how to keep our Arabians from crow-hopping in less than an hour. She used to follow me in her little black Mercedes coupe (checking up on me). Up at Walloon we went to a vampire drive-in movie and then there were all of those giant moths and we kept our throats covered and laughed until we cried. I helped her glue all of the little styrofoam cups upside-down on the ceiling at her little Art Studio on Ferguson in Broad Ripple. My daughter Hope made a commercial for her son at her house up in Zionsville Ah the Great Memories at lunch at MHCC, sailing on Wawasee with Jay and Gloria. She was SO full of life!!! And I remember Louise, Irma, Jerome, Ginny and Billy. I was their Lifesaver (not Louise, she already had Bob ;o)

I just found out about Ms. Noel's passing from a fellow Indiana residence. Her artwork was pure magic from her subject matter to details to colors chosen. I have her art and books in my home. Her angel book, with glowing letters, touched me after my grandmother passed. Yes saw them glowing on my bookcase.
So sorry to learn this and she was an amazing artist. Deepest sympathies to her family.

I am glad to say I just discovered her art work this year. It is a large print I bought at our local Goodwill. I love it! It hangs in our front entry.
I just learned more about her today, including the fact she had passed away, as I wanted to find out about the artist who painted my picture. I also shared a love for horses and owned several
Please accept my condolences to those who loved her. Sincerely, Marvina Liechty

Nancy opened my world beyond what I thought was possible. I thank her for a slice of life that is untouchable. Who she is makes her paintings that much more magnificent! She is a force of goodness, love and strength

My deepest sympathies to Nancy’s family, but especially to her son Alex. He was a student of mine when I taught at Park Tudor School. Everyday for many of the years I taught at PT, I would see a print of hers hanging on the wall at the bottom of the stairs in the Fine Arts building. She and her considerable talent will be greatly missed. So sorry for your loss, Alex and family.

Nancy was so special to me. The last time I saw her she was so happy. It was one of those synchronistic moments in the Village. She glowed. I was saddened to hear of her passing, but I know there is another Angel in Heaven. Sending Prayers and Angels of Comfort to her family & friends.

I met Nancy years ago at Penrod and bought a poster of the Amish girl by a quilt. later I bought the book that she illustrated, “All God’s Creatures Go To Heaven” and have read the poem in the book, Fly” many times for memorial services. I know she is flying into the Light.

I will always be grateful for Nancy allowing my daughter's girl scout troop to visit her studio in the early 90's. Nancy's assistant said that it was the first request of it's kind. Not only did we get to tour her art studio, Nancy was present and made sure that the girls got to visit her animals and home as well. It was mind blowing for me to see originals of some of the posters I had purchased in the 80's. The girls absolutely loved our time with Nancy.
Peace and comfort to all in this great loss.

Nancy’s life was an intricately woven tapestry. Rich, textured, with many hues. She lived a life true to herself and the people and values she held dear. Brilliantly gifted, her art will live on. Blessed to have had her in my life. With abiding love and respect. Alicia Roth

Having grown up with Nancy’s brother Jerome, I got to know the family well. Nancy was indeed a free spirit who blazed her own trail. She always had a kind word for me and I so enjoyed her sense of humor. She gave me a personalized poster of the Lincoln Park Zoo which was very meaningful to me. May she Rest in Peace....

I was blessed to know Nancy when I taught Michael.
In spite of her immense talent, she was so focused on, and caring for others. I loved taking llamas and pups to visit kids in the hospital.
Michael, I’m sorry. I remember how much she loved you and sought the best for you.
