Obituary for Jeffery Marc Noel
Somersworth native (recently of Kingston, NH), Jeffrey M. Noel, 56, died June 2, 2021, at Exeter Hospital, after a courageous battle with cancer.
A graveside service with Military honors will be held on Friday, June 11, 2021 at 1:30 pm at the NH State Veteran’s Cemetery, 110 Daniel Webster Highway, Boscawen, NH. In lieu of flowers, Mr. Noel’s family asks that donations be made toward research in rare and hard to cure cancers, such as his own. Arrangements are under the direction of Wiggin-Purdy Funeral Home, Dover, NH.
Mr. Noel was born at the U.S. Naval Hospital in Chelsea, MA to Robert W. Noel and Phyllis A. (Peters) Noel. Jeffrey was a determined, confident, and self-motivated student who was a multi-sport athlete at Somersworth High School and also displayed talents in music, the theatrical arts and debate. Jeffrey enlisted in the Air Force after graduating from Somersworth High School in 1983.
He became a linguist in the Air Force, serving from 1984 – 1990 and graduating from the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California. He specialized in Czechoslovakian and other Slavic and Germanic languages. Mr. Noel was stationed at air bases in both Hahn and Stuttgart, Germany over his 6-years of Service where he both served his country and made lifelong friends.
Once Jeffrey completed his military service, he put himself through the University of New Hampshire where he majored in both Computer Science and Political Science. While at UNH, Jeff expanded his love of music as the General Manager of the school’s radio station, WUNH. After graduation, Mr. Noel enjoyed a successful career in the computer software industry, culminating in his job as Principal Pre-Sales Architect for SAS of North Carolina.
In his free-time, Jeffrey learned to play the guitar and piano, and had an enthusiastic joy for travel and the outdoors; hiking all over the world. He enjoyed skiing and riding motorcycles with his brother, Steven and his father, Bob.
Mr. Noel is survived by parents, Robert and Phyllis of Nottingham, brothers Rodney of Somersworth, and Steven of Portsmouth, and sister, Jennifer Day of Bremerton, Washington. He also leaves behind nephews Michael of Dover, NH, Cameron Day of Washington, and Simon and Callum of Portsmouth.
