1930-2020 ~ It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Noon. She was born in Anyox, B.C. on Jan 23, 1930. The family left Anyox three years later for Boat Bluff Light House Station for the next 10 years. They also lived on Ivory Island and Egg Island. They moved to Casey Cove on Digby Island where her father worked as a Canadian Coast Guard during the second world war. Then moved to Prince Rupert.
Noon finished her school after the move to Prince Rupert and started working for the Co-op Bakery where she met her future husband Bill Rothwell.
They married June 26, 1952 and had two children. Trevor and Theresa, she was a stay at home mom until she returned to the Co-op store then moved into the Co-op Fish Plant office until retirement.
