Dorothy Marie Noble, 74, went home on Tuesday April, 20, 2010. Dorothy was born May 3, 1935 in Des Moines. She married her childhood sweetheart Lawrence Noble on June 28, 1952. She loved gardening, antiquing, taking care of loved ones and spending time with her family and friends. Dorothy was a friend to all and loved life. Whenever you visited her, you never left her house with an empty stomach or without a warm hug.
Left to cherish Dorothy's memory are her five children, Linda (Dennis) Dean, Deborah (Tom) Spieker, Shirley (Steve) Olsen, Mike (Tess) Noble and Rick (Peg) Noble; sister, Shirley (Don) Norem; eight grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Lawrence, her mother, Helen Howell, and step-father, Lyle Howell.
Visitation will be held on Sunday, April 25, 2010, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Hamilton's 121 NW 60th Avenue. A memorial service will be held on Monday, April 26, at 10 a.m. at the funeral home.
Memorial contributions can be made to the Iowa Chapter of the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition at PO Box 214, Ankeny, Iowa 50021-0214.
Special thanks to Dr. Thomas Buroker and all the nurses and staff on the Third Floor of the Powell Unit at Iowa Methodist Medical Center, your tender care and compassion during this time has been very comforting.

So sorry to hear of your mothers passing. I hadn't seen her in years but remember her as such a sweet lady. I think last time I saw her she was giving out samples at one of the local stores. Debbie and I used to come over as teenagers and your parents were always so nice to us. My prayers are with all of you.

Mom,
I will use the knowledge, the love and understanding you gave to me to carry on with life. It will be hard without you to talk to and ask certain things and to guide me. You and Dad gave all of us kids the tools to work with and the love in our hearts. I will miss you beyond belief, that words can not express. You were the corner stone of our family and made all of us who we are today through the strong convictions and beliefs you had. Tell Daddy we miss him and give him a great big hug. We will all be together again some day.
Hapyy Birthday and Mothers day for the last time Mom. I LOVE YOU!

Mom I'm going to miss you so much. It hurts so bad right now knowing you won't be here for your birthday and Mothers Day. I know your with Dad and grandma now and your body is healty. We are being selfish and want all of you here with us. I know you went ahead to prepare for all of us because that is what you have always done, put us kids first. I'm sure going to miss talking to you everyday. But you have taught us kids well and and we will make you proud of us.
