Marilyn Noble Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Marilyn was born on January 25, 1933, in Paulding, Ohio. She was the only child of Bill and Irene Mentzer. Marilyn spent her childhood working behind the candy counter in her parent's dime store. Marilyn graduated from St. Joseph Hospital School of Nursing in 1955. Marilyn and 7 classmates followed a surgeon from Ft. Wayne, IN, to Santa Monica, CA. Marilyn was asked by the surgeon to go with him to Chicago. There, Marilyn participated in research.
Marilyn's career brought her back to Ft. Wayne, IN, where she met the love of her life, Ed Noble. They married April 12, 1958, and have enjoyed over 67 years of marriage. Over the years they have enjoyed traveling abroad and snow birding between Wisconsin and Florida/Alabama.
During her nursing career, Marilyn worked with iron lung patients, intensive care, surgery, cardiac care, supervision, and administration.
Marilyn is survived by her loving husband Ed, a son Tom, two daughters, Teresa (John) and Jeanne; four grandchildren, Ben (Caylan), Alex, Katy (Zsolt), Rekha (Tim); and one great-grandson, Ezra.
