Edith Nancy Hanlon Noble was born on July 29, 1917, to John and
Katie Hanlon in Arnett, Oklahoma. When Edith was six months old
the Hanlon family of three boys and three girls moved by covered
wagon to Delta, Colorado.
There Edith met and married Howard G. Noble on September 5th,
1935. To this union, four children were born, Bonnie Jean, James
Dee, Joan Ruth, and Howard Roger. All still reside in Colorado.
Edith was proud of the success she and Howard achieved through
their years of hard work and personal sacrifice. They started their
sheep business with only three bum lambs and grew it into quite a
successful business. Edith had many fond memories of sheep-camp
life; living in two tents - one used for a kitchen and one for a bedroom.
By 1946, they were able to sell a herd of 1,000 ewes and
move to Ridgway where they raised their family and lived for many
years.
Edith was a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church.
Peace came to Edith Nancy Hanlon Noble on the morning of Tuesday,
April 17th, 2012, at the age of 94.
Edith is survived by her four children; 11 grandchildren; 21
great-grandchildren; five great-great-grandchildren, and one sister,
Viola Hoos.
She was preceded in death by one special grandson, Jimmy D.
Noble.
Edith Nancy Noble was loved very much and will forever remain
in our hearts. Arrangements were under the direction of Crippin Funeral
Home & Crematory, Montrose, CO.
