NOBLE, REUBEN JAMES

April 20, 1953 - November 24 2022

It is with profound sadness that the family of Reuben Noble announce his passing on November 24, 2022 at Curtis Memorial Hospital at the age of 69. Reub was born on April 20, 1953 in Great Brehat, NL to Victor and Bertha Noble. He was one of twelve children. On November 26, 1976 he married the love of his life Ruby. Together they raised one daughter, Vicki and were blessed with two grandchildren, Jacob & Norah. 

 Reub was a fisherman for most of his life and he loved his time at sea. He loved the outdoors and spent many hours taking part in snowmobiling and ice fishing. He loved to play darts and have a game of cards or tock. The friendships he made throughout the years were many and great, lasting a lifetime. Another favorite past time of his was watching sports, especially hockey, he dearly loved to see the Montreal Canadians lose. He will be forever remembered for his impish grin and his love of carrying on.

Left to mourn his wife Ruby, daughter Vicki (Jon Maurice), grandson Jacob and granddaughter Norah.  Siblings Rita (Bob McKenzie), Marion, Don (Donna), Dave, Terry, Rick (Loretta), Gladys (Loren Campbell) & Sheila (Rick Elliott).  Sisters in Law Audrey (Gilles Cote), Eileen (Derek Fraser), Faye Roberts (Godfrey Parsons), Cindy Arsenault & Judy Patey.  Brother in law Gerald Roberts (Darlene Castle). Also a large circle of nieces, nephews and friends. Predeceased by parents Victor & Bertha Noble, two infant brothers Cecil and Sidney, brother Cliff, brothers in law Wayne Bartlett and Calvin Hillier, sisters in law, Shelley Reid and Anne Hussey & father and mother in law Sidney and Bertha Roberts.

The family would like to thank all the staff at Curtis Memorial hospital who took such good care of Reub. Also much appreciation to everyone for the support given to us during this difficult time. Whether it was visits, prayers, calls food or just a shoulder to cry on, it will never be forgotten.
