Sandra L. Noble, 81

Sandra L. (Schiele) Noble of Kalispell, a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and sister, passed away peacefully July 7, 2025. Born Sept. 1, 1943, in Utica, Michigan and raised in Ronan, the Flathead Valley became her home in 1965. 

She dedicated her life to creating a warm and nurturing home for her family. Her greatest joy came from spending time with family, competing at horse shows and motorcycle races, camping, car-pooling kids to 4-H events, and enjoying family dinners. She loved to bake and her homemade cookies and wheat bread were legendary in the community.

Sandra had a keen eye for talent and a deep appreciation for art. After becoming an empty nester, Sandra immersed herself in work at a local art gallery where she was surrounded by original works by legendary artists. 

She is survived by her children, Jeff Noble, Laurie Merrick (Roger), Stacia McAdams (Mike), and Kelly Pogorelec (David); grandchildren, Khristian Noble (Laura) and Spencer Noble (Beth); great-grandchild, Cecil Gray Noble; sister, Delores David; brothers, Raymond Schiele and Ronny Schiele and many nieces and nephews.

A private memorial service will be held to celebrate Sandra’s life. To honor Sandra’s love for art, the family encourages donations to the Glacier Art Museum (formerly Hockaday Center), whose mission includes preserving the artistic legacy of Montana and Glacier National Park.
