The Life of DOROTHY MARIE NOBLE
Dorothy Marie Noble, 74, went home on Tuesday April, 20, 2010.
Dorothy was born May 3, 1935 in Des Moines. She married her childhood sweetheart Lawrence Noble on June 28, 1952. She loved gardening, antiquing, taking care of loved ones and spending time with her family and friends. Dorothy was a friend to all and loved life. Whenever you visited her, you never left her house with an empty stomach or without a warm hug.
Left to cherish Dorothy's memory are her five children, Linda (Dennis) Dean, Deborah (Tom) Spieker, Shirley (Steve) Olsen, Mike (Tess) Noble and Rick (Peg) Noble; sister, Shirley (Don) Norem; eight grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Lawrence, her mother, Helen Howell, and step-father, Lyle Howell.
Visitation will be held on Sunday, April 25, 2010, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Hamilton's 121 NW 60th Ave.
A memorial service will be held on Monday, April 26, at 10 a.m. at the funeral home.
