Darren, Linda, Heather, Ian, Kristina, Greg, Martha, Deborah, Wayne, all-- working with Noreen in the County Legislature was a pleasure; ok, maybe we didn't agree on everything all the time-- but we were each actually able to convince the other to come around to our side on a number of issues-- she is missed.

Siblings are your first friends if you are lucky. Reenie was my first friend. She told me, " it was OK to have imaginary friends, just don't bring them to Kindergarten." We shared a bedroom and a bed in those early days and she never took all the covers. Also, we would ride for hours on our imaginary magic carpet (the bedspread) high above all those nasty people and things we were afraid could get at us. When she accidentially locked herself in the bedroom, I slid pretzels under the door so that she wouldn't starve in those two hours before Dad came home to fix the door handle. We were good friends then and always and forever. Until we hug again my friend, my sweet sister, you are forever in my heart. Marti

Dear Darren, Ian, Heather and Krissy,
My deepest sympathy to all of you and your family. Your Mom was a great lady. She was a pleasure to know and work with for the past dozen or so years. I'll always remember the sparkle in her eye as she shared a funny joke or story ! I'm so happy that I got to spend precious time with her in Savannah at Krissy's wedding. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you......I am so sorry for your loss. Eileen Duncan

I first met Noreen at NDH years ago, then again when Krissy attended RR Smith Elem School. Her beautiful smile would light up any room she entered. So very sorry for your loss.

Noreen was a pleasure to work with in the Dutchess County Legislature. She was always very helpful to me at Senator Saland's office. She was a real lady. Her children sure can be proud of thier mothers.

I was sadened to learn of the loss of Noreen...truly a wonderful and most caring person. I had the honor of working with her in her role in the county legislature and as regional director for Senator Saland. Her love of the community and committment to improving the quality of life in Dutchess County was always foremost in her work and she will clearly be missed. Her legacy leaves much to celebrate.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Noreen was a tremendous civic leader and strength to our community. She was a great listener and when I first knew her I assumed that she was a Democrat! She was full of common-sense and uncommon grace and civility. We are poorer now having lost her.

It is with great sadness and deep regret that I am sending condolences for the passing of a friend, former colleague, and overall a great woman.
Family and friends alike can take great pleasure in knowing that Noreen had a positive impact on the countless number of people that had the opportunity to encounter her. I am proud to say that my family and I had the chance to routinely interact with her.
Thoughts and prayers to all,
The Bender family
