Louise K. Noll, 103, passed away peacefully at her home in Maplewood, New Jersey, on Tuesday, October 20, 2026.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Mrs. Noll grew up in Winnetka, Illinois. Following her graduation from Sweet Briar College, she began her career in service to her country, working as a translator for Military Intelligence at the Pentagon from 1944 to 1946.
In 1947, she married William F. Noll Jr. of Maplewood, and together they made their home in Maplewood until his passing in 2002. She subsequently moved to Winchester Gardens in Maplewood, where she continued to enjoy the community she had long called home. Mrs. Noll was a devoted and longtime member of Morrow Memorial Church, where she served as president of the Women’s Society of Christian Service. She was also actively involved in the church’s annual turnover sale for many years and served as a circle leader, generously sharing her time and talents in support of her church family.
Her commitment to community service extended beyond the church. Mrs. Noll was an active member of the Woman’s Club of Maplewood, serving as president for two years and later as co-president for an additional two years. She was also deeply involved with the Maplewood Service League, where she served as president and later as thrift shop chairman. In recognition of her many years of dedicated volunteer service and lasting contributions to the community, she received the Maple Leaf Award in 2008.
Mrs. Noll will be remembered for her enduring commitment to service, her devotion to her faith and community, and the remarkable life she lived over more than a century. She is survived by her son, Rev. Dr. William T. Noll, and his wife, Rev. Fran Noll; her daughter, Margaret L. Noll (Penny); six grandchildren; and ten great-grandchildren.
A Memorial Service was held on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at Morrow Memorial Church, Maplewood, New Jersey. The interment of ashes followed in the Morrow Memorial Garden.
In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to Morrow Memorial Church, the Maplewood Public Library, 51 Baker Street, Maplewood, NJ 07040, or a charity of your choice.
