Bio
Celestine (Sally) Noecker was born in the farming community of Brainard, NE to Emil and Agnes Rech. Sally attended David City High School and completed her High School education graduating in 1941. As an 18 year old girl, she filled out an application for a position at the Justice Department in Washington DC, and began her wartime career at the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1942-1945. As the war was drawing to a close, she worked for the Martin Bomber Plant. In 1946, she met WJ "Bill" Noecker, a returning Navy veteran, electronics engineer, and inventor. They founded Sound Engineering Company, a distributor of RCA Sound Products, and soon developed his patented intercommunication system, which continued until Bill's passing in 1998. Bill and Sally married in 1947, and their son, Robert, was born in 1948. Sally began working at the promotion and sales department of WOWTV and Radio until 1954, when Sally began full time work for the family business at 4217 Dodge St. Sally became a volunteer at St Cecilia's Parish for many years, helping with many activities. She was a charter member of the Court of Our Lady of Nebraska Catholic Daughters, and held various offices for 8 years, including Regent. She received her 35 year pin in 2014. She had lived in Dundee, Masonic Manor, and most recently at The Waterford at Miracle Hills. Sally was preceded in death by brothers, Leonard, Richard, Edmund, and Valerian; sister, Georgia Krance; and daughter-in-law Beverly Noecker. She is survived by son, Robert of Overland Park KS; brother, Donald (Paula) Rech of Glenwood IA; and sister, Emelie (Rod) Armstrong of Sun City AZ. Sally will also be missed by her many loving nieces, nephews, grand nieces and nephews, and cousins. She loved and enjoyed all of her family. SERVICES Wednesday at 11:15am at St. Cecilia's Cathedral.
