She continued her education at Webster College in Webster Grove, Missouri, a suburb of St Louis, graduating in 1956.

Nonie was such a wonderful lady! She was a patient of mine my years ago when I worked for a doctor in Tempe. Even though it has been more than 30 years ago I still have fond, loving memories of her. May she Rest In Peace from a life well lived. My sincere condolences to her family in their loss.

Oh my, Noni, you’ve left Arvin without a means of support. You’ve left all of us without a compass to what’s right and good …and a good laugh.
Go in peace, God Bless.
