Noella "lived for her family." Noella thought that you are put on this earth to teach lessons or to learn lessons. Her strength was ever present in her life's resilience. From her survival of a horrific car accident as a young women, to the tragic loss of her husband and going on to raise 6 children alone while struggling with ongoing health issues, mom was our rock.
She believed she could and she did: member of the Dutches of Kent legion - Women's Auxiliary & Treasurer for many years; excelled at bowling, the game of darts and Euchre. Indeed her 6 children and 9 grandchildren can attest to her schooling of life and Euchre, a game that continued at Riverside Retirement Residence. Many of her friends there will tell you that you must be sharp when you're playing with Noella. Grandchildren's quote "I want to be on Munga's team!" She was so proud and adored her family and we all felt the same way.
