Charlotte was predeceased by her father Arthur Noble in 1984, her mother Kathleen Noble (nee Morrow) in 1993 and her baby granddaughter Kathleen Berndt in 1988. Charlotte was born June 16, 1937 in Medicine Hat, AB. At a young age the Noble family settled at Lee Lake, AB where her family farmed for many years. The family then moved to Bellevue, AB in the Crowsnest Pass where Charlotte at the age of 14 met and fell in love with a boy from Blairmore, Bill Lee. They dated for many years and married on May 12, 1956. Once married, they traveled extensively working in construction and mining, eventually retiring in Kamloops in 1998. Charlotte's passion in life was her family. Her husband, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were always a priority in her life. The Lee family would like to thank all the nurses and doctors who cared for Mom at the RIH. A very special thanks goes out to Sue in emergency and Shelby, Nicole and Roland on 3 West for making mom's last days comfortable and peacefully.
