Celebration of life held for Noelie Gluck, Sept. 22

Submitted
Mary Noel Gluck

The Killington and Pittsfield community and family will celebrate the life of Mary Noel (Finnegan) Gluck on Sunday, Sept. 22, at the Summit Lodge at 3 p.m.

Mary Noel (better known as “Noelie”) married Dick Gluck in 1971 and they became second homeowners in Pittsfield soon after that. They resided in Rowatan, Connecticut, and spent almost all of their free time in Vermont skiing, fishing and socializing. In 1993, they retired to Pittsfield.

Noelie, with the help of her husband Dick, spent many years organizing the Killington team to participate in the Komen Race for the Cure. Over the years, they made a significant contribution to aid in research for a cure for breast cancer. One year, Noelie was honored as the Komen Foundation Survivor of the Years for all the work that she and Dick did. After the race, everyone was invited to their home for a barbecue and a wonderful community celebration.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the Summit to celebrate the life of Noelie as well as her husband Dick.
