Obituary of Carol Noyd

Carol Lynn Noyd, aged 71, died peacefully on October 14 at St. Elizabeth Hospice Center in Edgewood, Kentucky after a brief struggle with a third occurrence of cancer. Carol was born on April 5, 1943 in St. Helena, California. A woman who loved God, her family, and her friends, she showed compassion to all she met as she lived knowing the reality of the abundant life that comes through Jesus Christ. In 1961 Carol married Louis Elmer Noyd in Ukiah, California and eventually moved to Kentucky where together they raised three children. Her life was centered on serving her family, her church, and her friends. She especially enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren. Carol was a member of Bethany Lutheran Church and was actively involved in all aspects of ministry. Although, her most important work at Bethany was sharing her smile and love with everyone who walked through the doors. In her spare time, Carol enjoyed reading, sewing, and gardening. Carol is survived by her mother, Margo Patterson, her brother, David Irmer, and her sisters, Connie Neese and Pamela Burns; daughter, Jamie Noyd; son, Nathanael Noyd, and daughter-in-law, Amanda Noyd; daughter, Kimi Rolfsen, and son-in-law, Mark Rolfsen; five grandchildren, Lillian Noyd, Eliza Noyd, Katrina Rolfsen, Samuel Noyd, and Rachel Rolfsen; and a number of other relatives and friends. There will be a memorial service on Saturday, November 1 at 11:30 am at Bethany Lutheran Church preceded by a time to visit with the family from 10:00 to 11:30 am. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be sent in Carol's name to Bethany Lutheran Church, 3501 Turkeyfoot Road, Erlanger, KY 41018.
