Mrs. Dianne Lakeita Noel, affectionately known as Mrs. Dee, was born on April 17, 1960, in Donaldsonville, Georgia, to the late Rosie Mae Young and Mack Roy Young.
She attended Bainbridge High School and carried with her a spirit of resilience, dedication, and warmth that would define her life.
Mrs. Dee was united in Holy Matrimony to George Willie Noel on April 29, 1994. Together, they built a life centered on love, loyalty, and family.
She began her career at Inland Truck Stop in October 1994 as a cook, where she became a familiar and beloved presence. Through the years, even as the food service transitioned into Subway, Mrs. Dee remained committed, working faithfully until December 2024. She was known for her strong work ethic, rarely taking days off, always showing up with a smile, and helping guide new team members and managers without ever seeking recognition.
Mrs. Dee loved big and laughed louder. She was the glue that held her family together. From her famous blueberry cake at Christmas to her unforgettable chicken dressing during the holidays, her love was always felt through her cooking. She gave endlessly even when she didn’t have much, hosting yard sales, couponing after long workdays, and always finding a way to provide for others.
She was a woman of quiet strength, deep faith, and service. Dressed in white as an usher and announcement reader with her unforgettable “thought of the day”, at Springfield Missionary Baptist Church, she served with grace and humility until her health began to fail. She was playful, full of life, always smiling, and carried herself with a quiet confidence that spoke volumes.
She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a mother figure to many. She leaves to cherish her memory: her husband, George Willie Noel; her son, Trinity Anthony Frazier
She also leaves behind her beloved grandchildren: Brayden Anthony Frazier, Emersyn LaShaun Frazier, and Preston Sincere Frazier.
She is survived by her brother, Mack Arthur Young(Joann)(Bainbridge GA); her sisters, Winfrent Butler(Bainbridge GA), Arlette Young(Vienna GA), and Lillian Byrd(Quincy FL); and a host of nieces: Monica Johnson, Tonya Powell, Shannon Byrd; nephews: Spencer Butler, Herschel Byrd, Cornelius Butler, Joe Butts Jr.; her two special daughters, Subrina Bell Florence and Brandy Nicole Anderson and extended family, and friends.
