HELEN RUTH NOBLE
May 26, 1926 — May 20, 2019
Helen Ruth Noble (nee Hagerman), age 92, of Valley City, OH, formerly of South Sioux City, NE, passed away peacefully on May 20, 2019. She was born on May 26, 1926, in Sioux City, IA, to the late Ernest L. and Esther A. (nee Wehrstein) Hagerman.
Helen grew up in Sioux City, IA and later married and moved to a small farm near Salix, IA. She was a graduate of Sioux City East High School, Class of 1944. From a young age, she turned to sports in her spare time, playing on a championship softball team, winning the high school table tennis tournament and bowling, eventually competing on TV where she won numerous prizes. She volunteered her time by clowning with her husband, Bob, at county fairs, local parades or visiting children at the area hospitals. They later moved to Sgt. Bluff, IA where they were active volunteers in the school and community. Helen volunteered at St. Luke's Medical Center in Sioux City and worked at the Explorer's Baseball stadium.
She was a member of the American Legion Women’s Auxiliary and active in the Women's Bowling Congress, American Kennel Club, Sgt. Bluff-Luton Athletic Boosters and Woodbury County 4-H Dog Obedience Training. Helen loved her Nebraska Cornhuskers and attended football games as often as she could!
A 30-year cancer survivor, Helen was as tough as they come. Her spunky personality was infectious, and she never met a stranger. She cooked a mean fried chicken and her competitive legacy lives on through her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She will be dearly missed by her children; Jerry (Guadelupe) Noble, Eugene Noble, Jill (Frank) Dwyer; grandchildren, Travis (Shelly) Noble, Jerry (Joline) Noble, Jr., Jonas (Melissa) Noble, Ashley Dwyer and Alysen Dwyer; great-grandchildren, Taylor Noble, Emma Noble, Monroe Noble, Trey Noble and Joella Noble; and numerous family and friends.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of nearly 50 years, Robert H. Noble; sister, Delores Welsh (nee Hagerman); brothers, Keith, Jack, and Patrick.
