A local country girl born and raised in Sutter County, California. The first child of three children bore to Hugh and Imogene Carter.
Graduating from Yuba City High School in 1971. Attending Yuba College and marrying my high school love Terry Noble in 1972.
By 1978, we had two daughters Stephanie and Carrie. In 2001, we began parenthood again as we adopted our nephew David,
son of Terry's late brother. To date, 2007, we now have 7 grandchildren. And what a joy it is!
God does give us the desires of our heart. Along with being a wife and mother, God fulfilled the desire to be a teacher and a missionary
in the following ways. Teaching Sunday school and Vacation Bible School was always a delight throughout the years. In 1982, I had the
privilege of working at Placerville Christian School first as a secretary and bookkeeper. Then going on to becoming a teacher's aide.
Ending my years they're as a part time bookkeeper which allowed me to attend Bible Study Fellowship.
The desire to be a missionary began as a child in my grandparents' living room. Listening to my great uncle Dow Merritt share about Zambia.
The mission, the school, the people and then he gave the call to go to the mission field. This is where Bible Study Fellowship (BSF International)
fits in. I have had the awesome privilege to study and serve with BSF for almost 20 years in various positions; the last 9 of those years as
substitute teaching leader in the Yuba City Class. As STL, I not only had the privilege to teach the Word of God. Also, the opportunity to train
women in how to study the bible, lead a bible study, begin a personal quiet time and most exciting to share the good news of Jesus Christ; truly
fulfilling the missionary call in my life.
In the summer of 2007, I was called back to serve in a ministry capacity at Loma Rica Community Church as church secretary for the second time.
Feeling excited and confident that my previous training and serving will allow me to minister to the church family of LRCC in a new way.
Most of all I am thankful for my Christian heritage. The example of my parents, grandparents, and many other family members throughout our
family tree. Including our children who are serving the Lord in the ministry. I also am thankful for my husband who understands my passion and
has allowed me to use my time serving in God's kingdom.
My favorite past times are gourmet cooking, baking, gardening, reading cookbooks, old mystery and historical novels, swimming, calligraphy,
spending time with my family and friends, along with the critters including my ladies, the hens. As I am just a country girl who loves the Lord
with all her heart and cares deeply for all of His creation.
