Mrs. Edith (Hayes) Noe died in her assisted living home, accompanied by her granddaughters on November 29, 2015. Edith is survived by her daughter-in-law, Rosemary Noe of California, MD; her nine grandchildren; and many great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband, James E. Noe; her daughter Curraleen; and her sons, James E. Noe II and Timothy Noe. Edith was born in Ironton, OH on September 7, 1915 to Joseph and Ella Hayes. She met her husband, Jimmy, at Morehead State University in Kentucky and they were married in December 1935. Already a pilot, Jimmy volunteered to serve in the Army Air Corps during World War II, and flew combat missions over "The Hump" in the China Burma India Theatre. Aviation remained a favorite pastime of the couple; Edith herself learned to fly and ultimately soloed in the family's airplane, a notable achievement for the day. Edith and Jimmy were also very active in the Hump Pilots Association from its very inception and throughout its long history. After the war, the couple moved to Hyattsville, MD, a Washington, DC, suburb, and raised their three successful children. They continued to enjoy aviation, travelling and golf. Sadly, Jimmy passed away too young on May 3, 1970. In the years that followed, Edith was very active with her children and grandchildren, in the community and in her church, Riverdale Presbyterian Church. In 1979, Edith moved to Heritage Harbor in Annapolis, MD. She is best remembered for her active social life, and in particular her enthusiastic support for, acting in and, yes, directing a variety of plays at the Heritage Harbor community center. Edith is fondly remembered by her surviving family for her unwavering dedication to her late husband, her love of all things aviation, and her vast number of friends. She lived a very long, full life and will be missed. A private memorial will be held, and Edith will be buried beside her husband at Fort Lincoln Cemetary in Brentwood, MD.
