Noreen was a devoted mother and grandmother who cherished her family above all else. She had a deep love for the outdoors and could often be found playing an accomplished game of tennis, kayaking, mowing and cutting paths on her properties, gardening, or simply enjoying nature. She brought out the best in people with her warm smile, wonderful laugh, and genuine concern for others. Her strength, courage, grace, and love will be remembered by all who knew her.
