William E. Noelte

William Edward Noelte, 77, died Thursday, March 6, 2025, at the Granite VNA Hospice House in Concord, NH. He was born on March 10, 1947, in Pawtucket, RI, the son of Earl and Dorothy (Anderson) Noelte. He was the husband of Donna Noelte. They were married on October 9, 1982, in Concord, NH.

A graduate of Tilton/Northfield High School in 1964, William later earned degrees from Burdett College in 1967, Husson University in 1969, and Plymouth State University in 1975. Throughout his career, he dedicated himself to both the private and public sectors, most notably serving as an auditor for the New Hampshire Department of Safety and a field auditor for the New Hampshire Department of Employment Security. He retired in March of 2012, after years of service.

William was also an active member of Christ Church, PCA in Pembroke, NH, where he participated in the men's group and numerous Bible studies. He found great joy in sharing breakfast and many cups of coffee with his church friends and his regular visits to Panera Bread. Bill also loved his family get-togethers, barbeques, and quiet time at home with his loved ones.

William was an avid sports fan, followed the news and politics, and enjoyed reading and taking rides. He especially enjoyed following Husson University’s sports teams, men and women’s, in-person and online, and at every opportunity he promoted the school. He was seldom seen without his Husson cap on.

He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Donna Noelte, his son, Matthew Noelte of Concord, NH, his sister, Jane Shaw of Rye, NH, and his two brothers, Earl Noelte and his wife Monique of Geneva, Switzerland, and Bruce Noelte and his wife Adrienne of Tilton, NH. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

A church service will be held on Saturday, March 29, 2025, beginning at 2PM at the Christ Church, PCA in Pembroke, NH with Ian Hard officiating. All family and friends are invited to attend. A burial at the Blossom Hill Cemetery in Concord, NH will take place at a later date.
