Sandra was born in Pontiac, Michigan, on July 31, 1952, to William and Marilyn Marshall. She graduated from Walled Lake Western High School in 1970. On November 20, 1971, she married the love of her life, James Noble, in War Creek, Kentucky. The two shared nearly fifty years together and built a life centered around their family.

children, Holly Marie and David James.

Sandra worked for many years as a millwright at MST – Seamless Tube & Pipe alongside her husband. In her later years, she worked as a custodian at DMC Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital– where she met her best friend, Tonya Gamble.

Sandra dedicated her life to caring for the people she loved. She was a devoted mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. Her most treasured moments were spent at home with family, always ready to welcome loved ones with a home-cooked meal and a warm visit. She was the strong matriarch of her family, making sure everyone was cared for and supported. Alongside her husband, she spent many years helping their siblings and children raise their families. She often said the greatest joy of her life was watching "her babies" grow up and accomplish their dreams.

Sandra and James shared a love for antiquing and restoring furniture, a hobby they enjoyed together for many years. They took great pride in restoring old antiques and collecting handmade woodwork and Amish furniture. Sandra was especially proud of the beautiful collection of one-of-a-kind wood pieces that filled the home she lovingly created.

She was also an avid crafter who enjoyed making quilts, crocheted pieces, and handmade decorations for her home and family.

Sandra had a strong and spirited personality. She never hesitated to speak her mind and was known for her fierce loyalty, generosity, and strength. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Her family takes great comfort in knowing she is at peace with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
