February 9, 1953 - September 20, 2019
We are saddened by the loss of our mother, Noreen Essig. We are thankful to share that family was by her side the entire time as she passed from this world. We were able to honor her wishes and grateful for all she did for us. Although we are heartbroken - it is thanks to her that we are who we are are, and we know she will always be with us.
Noreen is survived by three daughters and son-in-laws Lisa and Matt Morse, Jennifer Hiscock-Willard and John Willard and Christine and Brian Kennedy. She also leaves behind her sister and brother-in-law Karen and Steve Fletcher and her brother and sister-in-law Barry and Romina Essig. Additionally, the loves of her life, her grandchildren - Kayleigh, Ellen, Hunter and Parker. Her extended family includes beloved cousins, nieces, and nephews along with her cherished friends.
Visitation will be held on September 24, 2019 at the Hodges-Kiser Funeral Home in Fort Myers from 5:00-7:00 pm with service at 7:00 pm. Additionally, we will be hosting a Celebration of Life on Sunday September 29, 2019 at the White Whale restaurant in Seaford, New York from 1:00 - 5:00 pm.

"I would like the memory of me to be a happy one,
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles as I ascend beyond the sun.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly along the waves,
of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun,
of happy memories that I leave as my eternal life has begun.
- Until we meet again"
