Pastor Marion Jay Noll

Noll, Pastor Marion J.

Age 95, of New Lebanon, left his earthly body, February 8, 2018 at his home. On Thursday, Pastor Marion was welcomed into the presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. There to meet him was Naomi (Studebaker), his wife of forty-seven years, his parents, Forest and Stacy (Jay) Noll, his sister, Glenna Alspaugh Whitmer, and his twin sister, Mary Esther Jackson.

Pastor Marion was born near Pleasant Hill, OH.  He began his adult life as a farmer and insurance agent.  He was named an FFA Ohio State Farmer in the 1940s. Then he went into his calling when he pastored churches in IN, GA,  and throughout southern OH. Close to his heart was the mission term he and Naomi served in Port-au-Prince, Haiti where he ministered and they served hundreds of street children lunch every day.  He retired at age 85 after serving the Eaton Church of the Brethren for ten years as caregiving pastor.
