On January 3, 2025, Florala, Alabama lost one of its brightest lights with the passing of Noel Brooks. Born on December 28, 1989, Noel brought joy and laughter to all who knew her.

Noel is survived by her loving husband, Kenneth Brooks, whom she married in 2008. Together, they raised three beautiful children: Julie, Hollie, and Natalie. Noel's parents, Christopher Echele and Teresa Allen, also mourn the loss of their beloved daughter.

Noel's infectious smile and quick wit will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She had a heart of gold and always put others before herself.

Although Noel's time with us was cut short by a massive heart attack, her memory will live on in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to have known her.

Rest in peace, Noel. You will always be remembered with love and fond memories.
