Easielean Noel, age 82, went home to be with his Lord and Savior at midnight, March 2, 2011 at Valley View Nursing Home in Elkhart. Easielean was born October 17, 1928 in Grenada, Mississippi to Archie and Leadie Hall. Easielean was raised by Leadie and Lorenzo Lee Sr. They preceded him in death. On January 31, 1980, Mr. Noel was united in marriage to Ms. Vivian Barnes.

Visitation will be held 2 hours prior to the 1:00pm Funeral Service on Monday, March 7, 2011 at Calvary Assembly of God Church, 1010 E. Mishawaka Rd. Elkhart, Indiana. Elder James Andrews of the Greater Wayside Church of Elkhart will preside. Interment will follow in Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens, Osceola, Indiana. Chapel Hill Funeral Home is handling arrangements.

Easielean served honorably in the U.S. Army during the Korean War Era before his discharge in 1954. He was self employed as a plumber for many years, and also worked at Holiday Rambler in Elkhart for several years. In his spare time, he enjoyed hunting and fishing, as well as spending time with all his grandchildren, each for whom he had a nickname.

Easielean gave his heart to the Lord in 1983, and accepted Him as his personal Savior at the Greater Wayside Church in Elkhart. He was a faithful member and Usher at the Church for many years, and stood strong in his faith until the Lord (or "The Big Boss" as he would say) called him home to Heaven.
