1956 – 2026
After 5 months in the Saint John Regional hospital, our beloved sister, Sheryl Dawn Noble, passed away, April 7, 2026.
Sherry was the youngest of the three children of George A Noble and Lesslie J (Nixon) Noble, both of whom predeceased her. She is survived by her brother, Bruce A Noble, K.C. (Marilyn R Boone) Noble of Fredericton; and sister, Brenda G Noble, K.C. of Saint John as well as her nephews of whom she was immensely proud, Edward J Noble (Peggy Cooke), and Robert A. Noble, both of Toronto.
A Christmas gift, Sherry was born in Fredericton on December 22, 1956. She graduated from FHS in 1974. Her interest in baking and sewing led her to a Home Economics degree from Acadia University; her passion for people later drew her to a Social Work degree from St. Thomas University. Sherry’s career as a social worker began in Slave Lake, Alberta, a job she obtained in part, due to her prior pursuit of a summer program in American Sign Language at Gallaudet University, in Washington, D.C. In 1989, she returned to NB where she worked as a Social Worker, largely in the Long- Term Care program, until her retirement in 2023. Sherry was a zealous animal lover, a trait she inherited from our mother. She had pets ranging from the usual cats and dogs to her more exotic hooded rat and sulfur crested cockatoo. As a child she joined Aida Flemming’s “Kindness Club”, headquartered in Fredericton. She was a frequent visitor to the Flemming’s home where she helped the organization as only a dedicated 8-year-old could. She continued her passion for the care and protection of animals with her involvement as a volunteer and board member of the Charlotte County SPCA. She delighted in helping with their imaginative fund-raising activities, including the annual Fundy Sand Sculpture festival, yard sales, Sundaes on a Monday etc. Sherry was an avid amateur photographer, documenting CCSPCA activities, office social functions and more. If 1 photo would do, Sherry would take 50! Her other passion was for jewelry and art purchases from local artisans. Every shiny object attracted her attention.
Arrangements are under the care and direction of Brenan’s Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint John, NB (506-634-7424).
On Monday, April 13th, between 1:00 and 4:00 PM, the family will host Sherry’s friends at a Celebration of Life visitation at Humphrey’s Funeral Home, 20 Marks Street, St. Stephen, NB.
In lieu of flowers, if people wish, the family has requested donations to the Charlotte County SPCA or a charity of the donor’s choice.
