Noelline was very active in her parish of St. Lawrence Catholic Church where she helped launch the first Care Program for Seniors. Pain was no stranger to Noelline but because of her deep faith and loving husband, she always rose above it. A memorial mass was held on Saturday, January 29 at 2:30 p.m. at St. Lawrence Church. Among the priest attendants was Monsignor Lawrence OLeary, a family friend.
