Janet Sue Noland, 84, of rural Fayette, passed away on May 23, 2025, at her home of 58 years.

Janet was born near Glasgow, Mo., on July 27, 1940, a daughter of Robert Lee and Hazel Ruth Huff Farmer. She married Irvin Lee Noland on September 1, 1962, and they had enjoyed nearly 63 years of life together. Prior to retirement, Janet was employed with Howard County at the courthouse, the Fayette Public Schools, and the University of Missouri. In her younger days, she liked riding horses. She enjoyed crocheting, taking pictures at family events, and liked traveling with Irvin to visit family. She loved her children and grandchildren and was a source of encouragement and testimony to them. According to Irvin, her culinary talents evolved, and he and the kids were especially appreciative of her biscuits and gravy and meatloaf. She was a member of Bible Baptist Church and was loved by her friends there.
