I want to send my condolences to the family. I grew up next to Mrs Noble. Just a year ago we were laughing about all the balls that we hit into her yard. Her gardens were beautiful.

And as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives and at the last He will take His stand on the earth. Even after my skin is destroyed, yet from my flesh I shall see God, whom I myself shall see and not another. —Job 19:25-27

My Aunt Marie was a symbol of strength and elegance. She’ll truly be missed but forever in our hearts. Rest in peace now.

Sisters – a bond, thought to be unbreakable. The passing of my eldest sister has caused me to reflect on our bond, now severed by her passing.
My earliest memories are of Marie’s coming home to my parents while her Navy enlisted husband, Bobby, was ‘out to sea’. For me, being the youngest, it was a time to revel in a visit from my niece, Anita, the eldest of my sisters’ two daughters. Being the youngest placed me twenty years apart from Marie. Effectively, with similar age differences between my older sisters, I grew up an only child; or it certainly felt that way. Anita and I were two years apart; and two peas out of different but related pods! Finally, I had a friend; a niece that felt more like a sister. These many years later, it still feels that way to me. We have a shared history. Teenage memories, laughing together, shopping together, going to dances together, dressing alike, roaming the Atlantic City Steel Pier, all cherished adventures.
Marie had a kind heart, often disguised by a stern exterior. I recall many a Christmas Eve dinner with her; she loved my crab soup and I’d fuss over the table, knowing how much she loved Christmas. Also, Christmas in the ‘barn’ in Oxford, where she once stood, mid-snowstorm and declared, “It’s just like a fairy land!” Momentarily losing sight of her need to tackle the mile long driveway to get back home.
She loved hard; she fought a good fight; she rarely backed down. She was fierce.
All things have silver linings if one searches for them. Marie, in death you have brought Anita and I together once more. While she capably goes about the duties of settling your earthly possessions, I’ve determined to be there for her. Years ago, we were inseparable. Her blond to my brunette. Her serious nature, a balance to my far less serious self. Together we are going forward. Remembering you, loving you, on occasion ‘blessing’ you for your love of stuff. Lots and lots of stuff!
Sixty-six years wed to the same wonderful husband. Ninety-two years of a life well-lived. Raising two beautiful daughters and my nephew.
Sister dear, I’m just gonna say it: “ya done good”.

Marty and I are very sad about the loss of Marie. We are dear friends with her sister Georgia.
