Mary Catherine Noe Bible

Mary Noe Bible, age 103, went to be with her Lord on June 25, 2021.  Mary was born on May 9, 1918 in Mascot, TN and lived her adult life in Morristown, TN. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother and friend to many. She lived a life of giving, loving others, and serving the Lord. She was a member of First Baptist Church of Morristown for 65 years and taught Sunday School for young children for many years. She served as the first full time secretary of First Presbyterian Church Morristown for 21 years.

In her last years, she loved to sit on her porch watching God’s creation and visiting with friends and offering nuggets of wisdom. When asked what advice she would give, after living more than 100 years, she said “we belong to God and we are accountable to Him, so we need to learn to depend on God”.
