Perneda A. Noonan, age 89 of Van Wert, Ohio, went to her Glory on Tuesday, January 4, 2022. She recently resided at Van Wert Manor in Van Wert, Ohio. She was born on February 3, 1932 to the late Walter and Effie (Williams) Stewart in Rosalyn, Kentucky. Perneda is survived by her daughters, Diane McDargh of Van Wert, OH, and LaDonna (Jeff) Pattee of New Haven, IN, and her sons, Joel A. (Robin) McDargh and Jeffery McDargh, all of Springfield, OH, and Brian McDargh of Van Wert, OH.

In her leisure time she enjoyed crocheting, fishing and mushroom hunting. Perneda was looking forward to welcoming her 4th great-great-great-grandchild in July. She was blessed with a long and fruitful life. She left this world praising God. Although we will miss our prayer warrior, we rejoice knowing she now resides with Jesus.
