Doris Anne Noble
December 25, 1924 — February 16, 2018
Doris Anne Noble, 93, of Altoona, PA, passed away Friday, February 16, 2018 at Maybrook Hills Rehabilitation and Health Care Center in Altoona.
She was born in Woodhaven, NY, a daughter of the late Augustus O. and Anna (Clarke) Peverelly.
She graduated from Richmond Hill High School, Queens, NY in June, 1942, where she met John “Jack” Gibson Noble, Jr. They were married on September 20, 1942 in Woodhaven, NY.
Doris excelled as a kosher cook at Long Island Jewish Medical Center and was head cook at Timber Point Elementary School in East Islip, NY for many years.
Doris, Jack, and their family relocated many times throughout New York State, living on Long Island, in Woodhaven, Floral Park, East Islip, and later, after a long and satisfying work life, retiring to Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks.
During their time on Long Island, Doris and Jack were founding members of the First Baptist Church of Central Islip, NY, and important institution that remains vital to the spiritual lives of the community today.
From 1975 to 1978 she and her husband, Jack, who was employed by Grumman Aerospace Corporation on Long Island, went to Isfahan, Iran to work. They enjoyed the opportunity to sightsee in Iran, Greece, and Israel during that time.
Starting in 1957, Doris and Jack, vacationed nearly every summer with their three children on Lower and Middle Saranac Lakes as well as Weller Pond which was one of their favorite places. It was these memorable experiences that led to the next exciting phase of their lives.
Upon retiring in 1984, they moved from Long Island to Saranac Lake where they were active in Meals-on-Wheels, as well as the Saranac Lake Senior Center, and were members of Tupper Lake Baptist Chapel.
Doris enjoyed singing in church choirs, rustic camping, participating in Winter Carnival festivals, and was an avid bird and wildlife watcher. After retirement, she enjoyed traveling with her husband to Civil War sites throughout the East Coast.
In February of 2011, after many years of independent living, Doris moved to Altoona, PA, in order to be closer to her daughter Wendy and her grandsons.
Doris is preceded in death by her husband, Jack; a daughter, Susan Doris; and her sister, June McClenahan.
She is survived by a daughter, Wendy Manfred, of Altoona, PA and a son, Russell Noble (and his wife, Lyn) of Gillingham, Kent, England; three grandsons: Michael Manfred, Matthew Manfred (and his wife, Heidi), and Mark Manfred (and his fiancé, Layla Geagon); three great grandchildren: Edith, Abraham, and Reuben; a nephew, Thomas McClenahan of Salt Lake City; and a niece, Judith Sabella of Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA.
