Therese S. Nobles (née Kalmus), age 81, of West Bend, passed away peacefully on March 1, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 63 years, Arthur J. Nobles (“Jay”). Together they built a life filled with love, laughter, and many cherished memories.

Therese was a proud and devoted mother to Tamra Nobles, Tina (Rick) Miller, and James (Wendy) Nobles. Her legacy lives on through her nine grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren, along with many nieces and nephews who were dear to her.

Therese worked for more than 25 years at the West Bend Company before retiring. In retirement, she continued serving others by cooking meals for several years at Tri Manor.

She loved spending time with family and friends. Her favorite memories included family trips down south, baking for loved ones, reading novels—especially those by James Patterson—and playing cards with family and friends. She also enjoyed gambling bus trips with friends and road trips to the casino with Jay.

Therese will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her love for her family will never be forgotten.

A celebration of life will be held on August 29, 2026. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the American Diabetes Association or the Alzheimer’s Association.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the compassionate staff at Kathy Hospice for their care and support.
