Noelle Lyn Daghe, age 55 of Denver, Co, died from colon cancer on September 16, 2021. She was in hospice care surrounded by loved ones.
She is survived by her parents, Joseph and Janice Daghe, brother Trevor (Shandee) Daghe, sister Darria Daghe Nelson, nephew Jackson Daghe, nieces Colby Daghe, Randi Dunn, Darian (Christopher) Lampley, several great nieces and nephews and her beloved dog George Michael.
Noelle grew up in Decatur, Il. She was a talented athlete competing in basketball and golf. She excelled in academics and after graduating high school received a full academic scholarship to the University of Kentucky. She played four years of collegiate golf while at the university, where she was named an Academic All-American in 1985, 1986 and 1988, as well as making the Dean’s List those same years. After graduating from college, she continued to compete in golf, playing professionally on the mini-tour circuit in 1989-90 and on the LPGA from 1991-97.
In 2000, Noelle moved to Colorado and shifted gears returning to her scholarly roots and her love of math and finance. She began management training for a career in banking and earned her graduate degree in banking from the University of Washington Pacific Coast Banking School. She reached executive levels at Bank of the West and CoBank.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover.” –Mark Twain
A quote that Noelle shared often and lived her life by every day. She was a firm believer in balancing work and life. Her hobbies and passions included anything outdoors but her favorite activity was hiking with her dog.
Noelle touched many people and taught countless lessons throughout her life. That impact continued during her last few months of battling cancer.
