Laura Ellen Noble, 59, passed away on July 31, 2017. Laura was a graduate of Northern Arizona University in art and education, and in her 20s was a schoolteacher in Northern Arizona and California. She found her real calling in her 30s, however, when she began to work with plants. For almost twenty years she worked for ASU, beginning as a volunteer and then becoming a horticultural specialist, caring for the plants and trees and flowers of the university campus. She is survived by her mother and brother. A celebration of Laura's life will be held at Arboretum Park on the ASU campus on Thursday, August 17 at 10:30 am. In lieu of flowers, please make any contributions to Arboretum Park at ASU. (Source: Arizona Republic)
