Adele J. Noyes

Adele J. Noyes, age 89, of West Haven went home to be with the Lord on March 27, 2023.  For 66 years, she was the loving wife of Harry M.

Adele was a woman of God whose faith was a testament to all who knew her. She taught us to trust in God for all things through the good times and bad times and that we should love one another as Jesus loved us.

Adele graduated from Southern Connecticut State University and enjoyed teaching nursery and elementary school, daily mass, and her beloved Hallmark movies.  She was a voracious reader and couldn’t put down a good book.
