Joan Phyllis Noyer

Joan Phyllis Jacks Noyer was born on June 27th, 1941 in Napa, California to Guy Wallace Jacks and Clara Jenkins Jacks. She graduated from Napa High School and later went to Napa Junior College and Sacramento State. She later graduated from Fresno State in 1985 with her teaching degree and taught within the Clovis Unified School District at Clovis High, Jefferson Elementary and later at Gateway High School in California as a Special Education teacher. While working at her parent’s hobby shop in Napa, California, she met Bill Noyer, one of the handsome young salesmen that called on the shop. They dated and married 6 months later and had three children, Lisa, Billy and Danny. They lived throughout the state of California and eventually settled in Clovis, California, where they lived on 5 acres in view of the Sierra mountain range for 42 years. They spent much of the early years on the lake, boating and skiing with their family. In later years, they started on their scale-train adventures, joining a number of California train clubs throughout the state and west coast. They continued their boating adventures on two different cabin cruisers and enjoyed them immensely.

They moved to Harker Heights, Texas in October of 2016, which has been their launching point for many of their train and traveling adventures. They became members of HALS (Houston Area Live Steamers) shortly after arriving in Texas where Joan made many new friends and renewed her status in the train widows club. She found and joined Mountain View Baptist Church, just around the corner from their neighborhood, where, as usual, she made many new friends and pseudo family members.

In June of this year, Joan and Bill renewed their vows as they celebrated their monumental 60th wedding anniversary.

Joan went to be with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on August 2nd of this year.

Joan is survived by her husband, Bill, two sons Billy and Danny and daughter Lisa. She also leaves many grandchildren, Daniel, Kyle, Jacob, Billy, Jill, Sampson, Philip, Victor, Belle, JV and Bena.

A Celebration of Life Service for Joan will be held Saturday, August 13, 2022 at 10:00 AM at Crawford Bowers Funeral Home, Killeen, TX.
