Noreen loved birds, frogs, photography, electronics, sewing and crafts. Noreen lived for her children and grandchildren and her friends became part of her family. Her love, faith and strength kept her family together. She always saw the good in everyone and looked for the silver lining in every cloud.
We will miss her laughter and knowing that she was always there for us. She will be missed by many.
