Noella was born December 25, 1962, in Ottawa, IL, to Donald Stein and Katherine Stein. Noella was a loving and sweet soul that touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege to know her. Her endearing spirit was infectious.
Over the years she attended Echo School, Lighted Way, Kanthak House, and Friendship Village. She enjoyed camaraderie at all levels including her family and friends at Ottawa Pavilion, Special Olympics, movie nights, family pizza nights with mom’s homemade pizza, and family reunions in the park. She loved to “rock” to all kinds of music and enjoyed the traditions of her family crooning to “Stein Good Cheer Singers” at Christmas
and her birthday.
She is survived by her siblings, Sandi Carroll, Doug (Sue) Carroll, Greg Stein, Keith (Elizabeth) Stein, and Deneise (Tim) Trowbridge and her four nephews.
Noella was preceded in death by her loving parents; her maternal grandparents, Walter and Anna Carroll; and her paternal grandparents, Henry and Amanda Stein.
She was laid to rest in the Garden of Inspiration.
