Martha Noll

Martha Rennee Noll, a woman of remarkable courage and compassion, passed away gracefully on June 29, 2026. Born on June 22, 1957, in Morrilton, Arkansas, Martha embodied the very essence of love and support throughout her 69 years. She was a beacon of hope and comfort to her family, friends, and the community she served with her tireless dedication. As it is said, "The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." Martha was indeed one of these beautiful people.

Martha was a woman of many talents and passions. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life. Working on puzzles, tending to her garden, knitting, and camping were among her favorite pastimes. Her dedicated work ethic was evident in her years of service in the house cleaning business, where she lent her touch of warmth and love to every home she cleaned. Her spirit of hard work was only surpassed by the love she had for her family, particularly her grandchildren who were the light of her life. The love she shared with her late father, John Fryer and mother, Glenna Fryer, along with brother Johnny Fryer and sister Jana "Susie" Coats.
Martha is survived by Son: Jeremy Hice and wife Crystal of Atkins, Daughters: Daniella Bauman and husband Ian of Dover; Lindsay Hemness and husband Justin of Springfield, Brother: Ernie Fryer of Old Hickory, sister: Nancy Fryer of Morrilton, grandchildren; Kasey (Taylor) Carr, Abigayle Carr, Kaitlyn Holbrook (Kyle), Daniel Hice (Brittnay), Lane Hemness, 8 great grandchildren, along with many nieces, nephews and other family and friends.

Martha's life will be celebrated with a visitation on Monday, July 6, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at Smith Springs Free Will Baptist Church, located at 40 Smith Springs Road, Morrilton, Arkansas, 72110. The celebration of life will follow at 11:00 a.m. CDT at the same location.

Martha's legacy is one of love, resilience, and an unwavering devotion to her family. Her life story is a testament to the adage that "the beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she knows."

We invite all who knew and loved Martha to share their memories, stories, and photos on her memorial page. Let us remember Martha Noll, not with sorrow, but with the joy she brought into our lives, the lessons she taught us, and the love she shared with us all.
