Ola Mae Lloyd Noble, 85, of Maple Hill passed peacefully from her earthly life on Friday, August 14, 2015 at her home.

She was born March 4, 1930 in Duplin County, the daughter of the late Thomas Henry and Julia Charity Pierce Lloyd. Also remembered is her beloved husband of 68 years, John Odell Noble; and sons-in-law, Troy Kelly, Jr. and James J. Brown all who preceded Ola Mae in death.

Ola Mae is survived by her caring family; daughters, Peggy Noble Brown and Wanda Noble Kelly; son, Danny Noble (Carol); grandchildren, Jamie Craft (Jennifer), Kevin Craft (Jerri Lynn), Derek Brown (Verna), Kelly Brown Robinson (Jonathan), and Ashley Noble Morris (Joe); great grandchildren, Emilee Craft, Anna Craft, Jacob Craft, Branden Craft, Savannah Craft, Ethan Robinson, and Devin Mitchell (Allison); sister, Vera Carter; special sister-in-law, Stella Lloyd; good friend, John "Peanut" Ferrell, and many extended family and friends all who dearly loved Ola Mae.

For many years Ola Mae was a faithful member of Maple Hill Baptist Church.

Not only was Ola Mae a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, but a generous friend. Ola Mae filled her home with love and Christian principles which she instilled in her children. She was a helpmate to Odell at home and on the farm as they shared everything. Ola Mae enjoyed quilting and sharing her quilts with each of her children and grandchildren. The quilts were made of her children's outgrown clothing and other special fabrics. Yorkie, Chloe, bought much comfort to Ola Mae following Odell's passing. Ola Mae's sweet, sweet spirit and joy in life are cherished and will be remembered. A family stitched together with love does not unravel.
