Peter John Noll follows wife in death by two days
Peter John Noll and his wife, Dorothy, celebrated their 50th anniversary this year. They were always together in life, said their son, Richard, of Edgewood.
This week they died two days apart.
Mrs. Noll, 72, died Tuesday at the couple's home in Highland Heights, where she was recovering from a broken hip. Mr. Noll, 76, had been hospitalized for kidney problems the week before and was not aware of his wife's death. He died at 11 a.m. Thursday at St. Elizabeth Medical Center South in Edgewood as her funeral Mass was ending.
"They loved each other so much. I believe this was almost like a story book for my dad," said Richard Noll. "It's going to be something for us to deal with, but he's with my mom still, like he was for 50 years."
Mr. Noll was a graduate of Xavier University and of Newport Central Catholic High School. He was an Army veter an of World War II.
Mr. Noll and Dorothy Beiting married
in 1950 and raised three daughters and three sons.
Mr. Noll helped found the Newport Catholic Boosters Club, and he and Mrs. Noll were their children's greatest supporters.
"My mom and dad never missed one of our sporting events," said Richard Noll.
Their sons played baseball, football and basketball. Their daughters played volleyball and basketball.
"With six kids, it can be a challenge to make it to all the events, but they were always out there in the stands. They were very dedicated to us," Noll said.
Mr. Noll was a sales executive for the Morton Salt Co.
"He could talk to anybody. He was very outgoing," his son said. "He cared dearly for his family. Loyalty and discipline and thinking of the family first are things I learned from him."
Mr. Noll forged friendships throughout his life. In recent years he had heart problems and joined the St. Luke Hospital Cardiac Rehab Group, which he and fellow members turned into a social circle, meeting for lunch and helping each other through crises.
The Nolls had lived in Bellevue shortly after they married
and moved to Highland Heights in the 1970s. Mr. Noll retired in 1986.
