Anne was born on March 1, 1974 ~ our second child and oldest daughter. She has always been an achiever from birth
and we are so proud of her.
Here are just a few of her many accomplishments:
*Anne wore a foot brace 24 hours a day until she was over a year old, but it never stopped her from crawling and taking her first steps
*Obtained all A's throughout her high school and college years
*Won the school spelling bee in sixth grade against the seventh and eighth graders
*Student Of The Month in Junior High
Senior Year
*1st place graduate Penta County Vocational High School
(Penta Career Center)
*3rd place graduate Lake High School
*#1 Outstanding Student ~ Cosmetology
*Presented a heartwarming speech to both schools
at her graduation ceremony
*Awarded a 2 year college scholarship
Anne especially loved Penta where she learned cosmetology. She stated many times that someday she would be a cosmetology instructor at Penta.
After graduation she received an associates degree in business with her scholarship followed by her bachelor's degree, and indeed she did become a cosmetology instructor at Penta. Anne enjoys working with teens and she recently received her master's degree to become a high school guidance counselor.
Life hasn't always been easy for Anne, she had to battle weight problems in her grade school years and was teased by other children. But being the achiever she is she lost all the weight in her high school years and to this day has been able to maintain her weight with proper diet and exercise. Also when Anne was 15 years old she lost her dearest and closest friend when her brother Paul died in a hunting accident. She never once complained about watching her 2 younger siblings while Dennis and I attended our bereavement support group meetings. Although she too was going through the grief process Anne put all her effort into her studies and went on to pursue her dream.
Anne is married to Todd Noel and they are the parents of
Megan Anne, Katelyn Marie, and Hannah Elizabeth.
Thank you Anne for always being a great achiever
and never giving up, even through the worst of times.
