Passed away peacefully Sunday, May 15, 2011, at her residence at age 65. Predeceased by her parents Edith and Thomas Brien, her sisters: Mary (Mim) Larner, Ellen and brother John. She is survived by her son Brien Whalen (Sarah Kennedy) and her husband Bern Farewell, who will love and remember her always. The youngest of eight, she is also survived by her sisters: Nancy (Gus Vaughan) and Jane (Doug Stanyer) and her brothers: Tom (Dana) and Mike (Noreen). Noelle was a step-mother to Shelly, Shane, Kim and Jessie and a devoted grandmother to Julian, Sophie, Townes, Liam and Conor, for whom her patience knew no bounds. A dedicated animal-lover, Noelle seldom encountered a stray that she wouldn’t take in. Her unwavering kindness, strength and compassion have touched the lives of many, too numerous to count. Her memory will live on in the hearts and minds of her family and her countless friends. At Noelle’s request, cremation has taken place. Those wishing to pay their final respects to Noelle may do so on Wednesday, May 18 from 1-3 p.m. at Caul’s Funeral Home, LeMarchant Rd. Visitation will be followed by a service at 3 p.m. from Caul’s chapel. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer
Centre.
