Willie Noyer

CARMICHAEL - Willie Roberta Noyer was born in Pauls Valley, Okla., on 
Sept. 5, 1919, the daughter of Robert and Tressa Thompson Corter.

She was the sister of Gene Smith (deceased) and Alameda Gault 
(deceased); loving wife of Robert L. Noyer (deceased); loving mother 
of Roberta Sue Franks of Orangevale and Darryl G. Noyer of Chattaroy, 
Wash.; dearest grandmother of Debbie Montalene of Auburn, Donald Pugh 
of Mt. Aukum; David Noyer of Coeur D’AIene, Idaho, Robert Noyer, 
Stockton, Linda McDaniels, Sacramento, Larry Noyer, Fresno, Michelle 
Franks, Sacramento; great-grandmother of one girl.

Roberta moved to California in the 1930s, a refugee of Okahoma’s dust 
bowl. She lived in Orange Cove, Napa, Healdsburg, Sacramento, 
Paradise, North Highlands and Palm Desert. She was very proud of 
having worked at Mare Island Naval Shipyard during World War II as a 
welder. She was so skilled at her trade that she was certified to do 
welding on submarines — she also told of being hoisted to the top of 
battleship’s gun turret so that she could make repairs to it.

We, Roberta’s children, grandchildren and other family members can 
never totally express our love and thanks for all that Roberta did 
for us. Her unselfish love and generosity was never-ending. “You 
touched our lives so deeply — we will never stop loving you even 
beyond our last breaths.”

Friends are invited to attend a graveside service on Thursday at 2 
p.m. at Tulocay Cemetery, with the Rev. Dr. Peter Shaw, Pastor of 
Napa’s First Baptist Church, officiating. Friends may call at 
Treadway & Wigger Funeral Chapel between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 
p.m., also on Thursday. Contributions to the American Cancer Society 
have been suggested. Condolences and memories may be shared with the 
family at treadwayandwiggerfuneralchapel.com.
