Following her cancer diagnosis in 1983, Noella became an avid walker making many friends along the way. She participated in many Terry Fox runs often inspiring others to join the cause. She took great pride in being present and involved in the lives of her children and five grandchildren. She cared deeply for her family, friends and neighbours leaving them with cherished memories.
