Eileen Marie Noble

July 7, 1924 - December 4, 2020

Eileen Marie (Lepine) Noble, age 96 of Northville, Michigan, passed away on December 4, 2020. A loving Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and Cousin, Eileen was our compass, beacon, spiritual guide and rock. While most of her life was dedicated to family, she worked as a secretary at General Motors, Mercy College of Detroit, JoAnn Fabrics and as a volunteer at Providence Park in Novi for 26 years. Eileen graduated from Holy Redeemer High School in Detroit, she and Ken raised their family at St. Mary’s of Redford and was also a member of Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church in Northville, MI. Preceded in death by so many family and friends, loving husband of 58 years, Ken; and granddaughters Laura Picano and Christine Noble. Survived by seven children, Kathy Picano, Barbara (Bob) Bochy, Dan (Cheri), Pete (Laura), Fr. Paul of Columbus, OH, Mary (Pat) Dudding of St. Joe, MI, and Joan E. (Phil) Cox of Galloway, OH; 17 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Having lived in Metro-Detroit for her entire life, she was proud of her city. Quite the socializer, Mom loved to draw in her eye-brows, put on a nice outfit and visit with everyone. Eileen ruled the household with love for one another and emphasized the importance of education, career and money management for her sons and daughters. As many mothers do, she advised her daughters that it is just as easy to marry a rich man as a poor one but would add the caveat to “find a man who can help you get into heaven” which is what she did and where she is. Funeral liturgy will be held at Our Lady of Victory, 133 Orchard Drive, Northville on Monday, December 7, 2020 at 11:00 AM. Interment will take place at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, Southfield. If family or friends cannot attend the liturgy, the church will be live streaming the event. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to Father Solanus Guild, 1780 Mt. Elliott, Detroit, MI 48207; www.solanuscasey.org.
