Paula Joy Noyes

Paula Joy Noyes, a cherished lifelong resident of Chardon, peacefully passed away on Oct. 29, 2024, at the age of 79.

Born on Oct. 27, 1945, to William and Joan (nee Krevjancsik) Dorsch, Paula’s warmth and kindness touched the lives of all who knew her.

A proud graduate of Chardon High School in 1963, Paula furthered her education by obtaining her associate’s degree at East Texas State University.

She dedicated 17 years as a nurse aide at Lake West SICU, where her compassion and gentle spirit provided comfort to many.

Paula married the love of her life, Richard H. Noyes, on Aug. 5, 1967, in South Pasadena, Calif. Their life together was filled with love and adventure until Richard’s passing on May 14, 2003.

Paula remained a beacon of strength for her family, staying actively involved in the community as a member of the First Congregational Church of Claridon and for over 54 years she was a devoted member to The Order of the Eastern Star masonic organization.

Paula found joy in camping for a decade at Traveler’s Woods in Garrettsville, visiting the Middlefield Auction, and celebrating Halloween by handing out candy to the neighborhood children. She enjoyed watching Hallmark movies and treasured every moment spent with her grandchildren, who brought her immeasurable joy.

Paula is survived by her beloved children, Kristen Noyes, of Chardon, William (Lauren) Noyes, of Willoughby, and Thomas (Stacy) Noyes, of Lyndhurst; and grandchildren, Richard Noyes and Ari Noyes, of Willoughby.

Her legacy of love will forever remain in the hearts of her family and friends.

Paula will be deeply missed but lovingly remembered for her unwavering spirit and the light she brought to our lives.
