As I was just reading my 11-10-16 Clinton Local I noticed the obituary for Noelle Colleen Papsdorf. Noelle was born in 1942 and was the oldest of seven children: Noelle, Wanda, Dave, Don, Mike, Robin and Paul, who passed away a couple of years ago. Noelle had a long musical career that began right here in Clinton. The world has lost a bright talent.
