Michael Hugo Noecker (Mike) was born December 3, 1944 in Hackensack, MN at the home of Milo and Ida Noecker. In 1949, Milo and Ida bought and moved to the family farm near Locust and Michael was raised on that farm with his sisters (Margo, Bettie and Suzanne) and his brother (Bill). Michael lived with his family until approximately 1980 when he was placed in the Freeport County Home now known as Wellington Place.

He went on to live four years at Woodward, Iowa and in group homes in Cresco and Decorah overseen by Opportunity Homes. Most of these years, he worked at Spectrum Industries in Decorah and received training to do a variety of jobs. His last move was on April 25, 2016 when he moved to Grandview Healthcare Center in Oelwein, Iowa where he was cared for by very loving people which included his sister Bettie who lived near and visited regularly.

Michael passed away from pneumonia on Friday, October 9, 2020 at the Grandview Healthcare Center in Oelwein, Iowa. Our family is forever grateful to each person that has touched Michael’s life throughout the years.

Michael is survived by his sister Bettie (Les) Fox, brother Bill Noecker, his sister Suzanne (John) Matter, his brother-in-law, Keith Walsh, a nephew and several nieces. He was preceded in death by his parents Ida and Milo Noecker and a sister Margo Walsh.

A private graveside service will be held on Saturday, October 17, 2020 at the Hesper Public Cemetery with Pastor Todd Burrichter presiding.

Memorials may be given to Hesper Public Cemetery, and mailed to Fjelstul Funeral Home.
