“Phoebe” as she was affectionately called by her husband and Noel family members, was a cook, cleaner counselor and if you were out of order, you were threatened with the serious belt. She worked in the New York Public School System until she retired in 1992. Once retired both she and her husband moved to Greensboro, Georgia.

“Phoebe” loved housekeeping, gardening and the whole house is adorned in the Royal Color of purple. “Phoebe” has left us so many precious memories. We thank God for giving her a warm and loving spirit.
