Marilyn J Noonan–Hanks, At a young age of 90, Lynn was sharp as a tack.  She passed away peacefully while asleep in her home of 72 years.  Born and raised in Northampton with her father Elmer “Pat” Noonan, mother Helen Holloran Noonan, brothers William “Bill” and John “Jack” Noonan of Florence.  Lynn married William Hanks of Pelham and had four children; Susan Lynch, Richard Hanks, Cheryl Rhodes, and Helen Hanks.  Lynn loved to cook big meals for holidays and special occasions to bring her family together.  She loved the Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots but most of all she loved her Irish heritage.

The family would like to thank Dr. Bruce Goderez for the many years of kindness and Father John Smegal. A Mass of Christian Burial will be 10:AM Monaday Oct. 24, at St. Brigid’s Church, Amherst. Burial will follow in East Leverett Cemetery.
