Noreen grew up in Manhattan, NY. She raised her children in Plainfield, NJ and later moved to Bridgewater, where she was a devoted member of St. Bernard of Clairvaux Church. Her most cherished roles were that of wife, mother and grandmother. Noreen’s gentle, caring ways endeared her to all, and her strong faith was unwavering and always an inspiration. She faced challenges with humility and grace, and was truly a child of God. We take comfort in our wonderful memories of her and await the joyful day we see her again.
