Together they raised three children. Noni’s only son, Charles Spencer Strobel preceded her in death, January 7, 2021.

Noni loved her good friends and neighbors, traveling, collecting antiques, and her views of Lake Davidson. From Southern Comfort charity fundraisers to impromptu gatherings, Noni’s parties were legendary. Her independent spirit and zest for life will be missed by all who knew her!
