CORNELIA REIS Obituary

NOLAND REIS--Cornelia. Cornelia Noland Reis died peacefully in her home on Friday, December 27, 2024. Beloved by all who knew her, she was a beautiful person of deep feeling who made a wonderful life with many chapters. Acutely attuned to politics from a young age, she was generous, thoughtful and artistic to her core and a keen collector of marvelously odd taste and exquisite judgement. She touched those she befriended with her honest, open heart. She is survived by her children Lyn, Bill and Cady Noland, her daughter-in-law, Catalina Arocena, and her granddaughter Nora Noland.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

My parents, my siblings and I were very fond of Cornelia. Living in Australia we saw her when visiting NY and in Connecticut. If it was possible to have an email or address for a family member we would love to write to you and send our condolences.
with warm wishes and great sympathy for your loss
I would be grateful if this message and my email address could be passed to her family.
