Noela Ipuario Scanlan

Noela was born on December 6th 1950 in the village of Nu'uuli of American Samoa. She was the mother of two amazing sons Nathaniel Crockett and Don Rosado. She always loved the ocean and so she moved around the Polynesian islands of Hawaii, Saipan and American Samoa, during her youth. She then moved North to the US to be with family in Tennessee and Virginia to be with her grandchildren. Noela loved her grandkids so she followed her older son Don around to be near her grandchildren, this had her eventually calling Arizona her temporary host state. She always hoped to find her way back to the ocean where she felt as most peace and joy. Noela loved the beach, she loved baking and cooking with her family. She also enjoyed sharing her faith with others. She was a great gardener and loved knitting. She adored her grandchildren and was a proud new great-grandmother. Noela was a kind woman with a strong connection to her faith. She was a happy woman who would find a way to see a positive out of a difficult situation and was grateful for her days she got to spend with not just her family, but also her brothers and sisters from the Kingdom Hall. She will be missed and will never be forgotten. She left an impression of kindness and compassion to all who had the chance to meet her.

She is survived by her sons Don Rosado and Nathaniel Crockett, and her grandchildren, Jovaney and Kalany, and Great grandson Princeton. Memorial services will be held on Saturday, October 23rd, 2021 in the City of Mesa, Arizona.
