Mrs. Margaret Josephine Piper Noon

Margaret Josephine Piper-Noon was born on September 16, 1950 to the late Reverend Walter W. Piper, Sr. and Ida Mae Piper in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. At an early age, she confessed her faith in Jesus Christ and joined the St. John Primitive Baptist Church, Gettysburg, Pa. under the pastorate of her father Rev. Walter W. Piper, Sr. In her youth Margaret sang in the church choir and with her brother and sister as The Piper Singers. Margaret was educated in the Harrisburg Public Schools and graduated from William Penn High School in 1968. She began her work history at the Harrisburg Polyclinic Hospital. She later was employed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Human Services, where she was a Clerical Supervisor. She retired from state employment after serving nearly 30 years. On August 15, 1970, she was joined in Holy Matrimony to Benjamin John Noon, II. This union lasted for 43 years until Benjamin went home to be with the Lord on November 4, 2014. Margaret loved her home. Her and Benny’s house was considered everyone’s house. Many family members stayed at their house during life’s difficult times and they always opened their door to show love and compassion. Their house was affectionately called “Heartbreak Hotel.” It was the family meeting place during holidays, weddings and other family gatherings. Margaret took great pride in filling her home with beautiful furnishings and lots of love. Margaret enjoyed spending time in her sewing room or playing on her computer. She would sit at the computer and play games for hours. She loved music and had an impressive vinyl record collection. She also liked making silk flower arrangements and glass etchings to decorate her home and gift to family and friends. The real joy of her life was her family. God blessed her to give birth to two sons; Dr. Bryon C. Noon and Richard A. Noon, Sr. Margaret could keep you on the phone for what seemed like forever talking and bragging about her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. Even the smallest accomplishment any of them made was a source of pride for her and you could see her beaming from ear to ear whenever she talked about her family. Margaret was preceded in death by her parents and her husband; four brothers, James H. Wallace, Sr., Albert T. Wallace, E. Duval T. Wallace and David A. Wallace. Margaret served her time on earth full of love, fun, style and pride. Her precious life ended early Tuesday morning, August 22, 2017. She leaves to continue celebrating her life: two sons, Dr. Bryon C. Noon and Richard A. Noon, Sr. (Carrie), both of Harrisburg, Pa.; two sisters, Jacqueline V. Warren (George) and Juanita Y. Rawlinson, both of Charlotte, N.C.; one brother, Bishop Walter W. Piper Jr. (Glenda) of Cincinnati, OH.; seven grandchildren, Quortnee, Chelsee, Tyler, Nicole, Alexis, Richard Jr., and Olivia, and nine great grandchildren Na’Sayah, Granville, Khaylin, Isyss, Na’Diyonha, Idriana, Naliea, Khadrian and Colt; and a host of other relatives and dear friends.
