Carolyn Noland Obituary

Carolyn Louise Noland, a beloved mother, grandmother, and a cherished friend to many, passed away on June 13, 2025, at the age of 88. Born on April 9, 1937, she touched the lives of everyone around her with her kindness, love, and unyielding spirit. In 1954 she married Arnold F. "Tink" Noland and together raised 4 beautiful children. Carolyn spent most of her life as a devoted homemaker, later serving her community as a Pharmacy Technician at Marley Pharmacy, where her warmth and care made every interaction special. Those who had the fortune of enjoying her culinary creations will forever remember her as the talented chef who made the best potato salad with egg and irresistible chocolate chip cookies. She took great pride in placing these sweet treats in Charlie Chip Cookie Tins to share with friends and family, further spreading joy through her thoughtful gestures. A delightful personality, Carolyn was known for her generous heart. She loved everyone and always wore a smile that could light up even the dullest day. She found happiness in the simple pleasures of life, from feeding cats and birds to playing Canasta with family and friends at the gazebo. Her laughter filled the air during bingo games played at St. Johns, and Church Creek VFD, she cherished watching sunsets at Hoopersville, finding beauty in nature's daily masterpiece. She was a devoted member of Hosier United Methodist Church while enjoying the women's club. Carolyn also held the position of the church secretary for many years. She was a member of AARP and enjoyed seeing her friends at the gatherings. Carolyn leaves behind a loving family that will miss her dearly.
