Obituary: Noble, Allen
Age 69
NOBLE, Allen
In Loving Memory
Allen Noble went to be with Jesus on March 14, 2014 at the age of 69.
Allen was born March 1, 1945 in Los Angeles, California to Walter and Louella Noble.
He married Bobbie Day on June 23, 1973.
He called her his “flower” and his beautiful bride.
Allen began his teaching career in the Kettle Falls School District in 1974, and continued in the same school district for 30 years.
Many of those years were spent teaching woodshop where he taught students to build beautiful furniture.
He was an amazing teacher who had a huge impact on students, becoming a father figure to many.
Allen loved to farm, and spent countless hours on his tractor making hay.
He also was an avid meat maker and shared his summer sausage, breakfast sausage, and smokies with friends and family.
Allen loved to cook and make good things to eat.
There were always lots of people in and out of the Noble house, where Allen’s gift of hospitality made everyone feel welcome.
Allen loved people and his sense of humor was unparalleled.
He always had a big smile on his face and his favorite saying was “life is good”.
Allen was a real family man and spent much of his time supporting his sons in their endeavors.
He was so proud of them and loved talking about them and spending time with them.
Allen became a Christian in his mid-thirties, and his faith was a very important part of his life.
As he grew in his faith, so did his desire to serve others.
He was instrumental in introducing others to faith in Christ.
He used to tell his sons that the three most important decisions a person has to make in life are: 1.
Choosing to accept Christ as your savior, 2.
Choosing your career, 3.
Choosing your mate.
Allen is survived by his wife Bobbie; sons, Matthew Noble and wife Lisa, Bonners Ferry, Idaho, Bradey Noble and wife Leah, Randolph, New Jersey; sister, Linda Bischoff and husband Stan, Palouse, WA; and five grandchildren, Ashley, Kelsey, Macey, Preston, and Parker.
