Obituary: Sarah Ann Noecker, 62

June 21, 1956 – Jan. 30, 2019

Sarah Ann Noecker was an avid outdoors woman. An expert skier, she was a pass holder at Killington for over 30 years and a Killington Mountain Ambassador for the past several seasons. Killington was her winter home where she also mountain biked and golfed. Noecker skied in the Alps, throughout New England, and at many areas in the western U.S. She particularly loved Stowe and spent dozens of nights staying in the historic Stone Hut on top of Mount Mansfield, but Killington was her home mountain and future retirement destination.

Sarah was a better than average and avid golfer. She began golf with her father and continued to present where she was a member of the MA EWGA for the past 10 years winning countless weekly prizes and seasonal accolades. She travelled to Myrtle Beach, Puerto Rico, and numerous states to golf.

Sarah was a competitive tennis player in college, a swimmer, a gymnast, and field hockey player. She participated with vigor and was a tenacious and graceful competitor.

Sarah was an accomplished and enthusiastic fly fisherwoman who pursued Atlantic salmon on many rivers throughout Quebec and Atlantic Canada. She angled and landed numerous large and small salmon and had an enviable record of catching at least one salmon on every river that she ever graced with her elegant casting. Noecker seasonally pursued striped bass with the fly rod from shore and loved to fish at sunrise on the beaches of Plum Island and Cape Cod.

She was an exceptional and fearless participant during her many sports. She loved the outdoors and she excelled while enjoying the world around her, often photographing scenery, mountains, and rivers.

Sarah was adored around the globe for her smile, generosity, laughter, and positive spirit. People adored  her for her polite and energetic demeanor and comforting disposition. Noecker was always willing to help. She was compassionate, caring, and well loved.  Please take a moment to celebrate the all too short life Sarah led and remember she was one of the finest human beings that anyone has ever known. Noecker was everyone’s best friend! She shall be dearly missed by all whom she touched.
