We Remember

LARENT, Noreen Megan
November 10, 1983 — April 29, 2025
With aching hearts and immeasurable love, we announce the passing of our dearest Noreen Megan Larent, 41, who left this world too soon. Her spirit, however, remains with us—woven into the lives she so deeply touched, and the family she cherished above all.
Noreen’s greatest joy—her life’s most sacred purpose—was being a mother. She was the proud and devoted mom of her beloved son, Zyaire, and the loving bonus mom to Liam and Lewis, whom she welcomed and loved with her whole heart. Nothing made her happier than being their Mom. She poured her soul into motherhood—fierce in her love, gentle in her care, and unwavering in her presence.
She shared a deep and beautiful life with her husband, Trevor, her true partner and constant love. Their connection was full of warmth, humour, and respect—a partnership grounded in love and built on everyday moments of joy and support.
At the center of Noreen’s heart was her mother, also named Noreen—her best friend, her greatest inspiration, and her anchor. Their bond was something extraordinary: full of laughter, late-night conversations, and a love that needed no words. Her sister Jaylnn was another pillar in her life, a lifelong companion, confidante, and source of endless shared memories.
Noreen was surrounded by an extended family of aunts, uncles, and cousins, and many, many friends who adored her. She was predeceased by her beloved grandmother, Noreen A. Larent, whose love and influence helped shape the woman she became. The thought of them reunited brings a small measure of peace.
Gifted with a voice that could quiet chaos or lift spirits, Noreen was a natural singer. Music lived in her bones, and she shared her gift with generosity and grace. Her songs were lullabies to her children, celebrations with friends, and sometimes the solace she gave herself in quieter moments.
In the digital world, she found real, lasting friendships through her vibrant gaming community. There, Noreen was known for her kindness, her humor, and her loyalty. She made those virtual spaces feel like home for so many, always showing up with warmth and wit.
To know Noreen was to be seen, heard, and loved. She listened deeply, felt passionately, and offered herself wholeheartedly. Her hugs were healing. Her laughter was contagious. Her love was fierce and endless.
We mourn her absence with every breath. Yet, we also celebrate her life—its music, its beauty, its love. She leaves behind a legacy of joy, compassion, and a family that will forever carry her light forward.
Rest gently, Noreen. Thank you for the love. Thank you for the music. Thank you for being you.

My deepest condolences to Noreen and family. I can’t express in words how much Noreen Megan meant to me. I will miss her so much.
My heart is broken. It’s hard to find the words to express the deep sorrow I feel knowing that Noreen is no longer with us. She was more than my niece—she was a shining light, full of warmth, laughter, and an unforgettable voice that touched everyone who heard it.
Noreen had a gift—not just in the way she sang, but in the way she made people feel seen, heard, and loved. Her music wasn’t just sound, it was emotion. It was her heart, poured out in every note.
There will never be another Noreen. I will miss her laughter, her voice, and the way she made life a little more beautiful just by being in it. May she rest in peace, and may we carry her memory forward with love and strength.
With deepest sympathy and all my love
Deepest condolences to the family.
To the dear family and so many friends of Noreen. I never had the opportunity to meet this beautiful and amazing songbird, I wish I had. My deepest condolences to all of you who were blessed to have Noreen Megan as their Mom, wife, daughter, sister, niece, cousin, granddaughter, or friend. My heart is broken for all who knew and loved her… so many of you. I’m so very sorry for your loss.
i remember Noreen from our time working together in Kelowna. It was a short but memorable time. I will remember her stirring voice and her warm welcoming heart.
The family is missing another gem, another pillar, the music of another voice, the laughter of a precious soul. We will treasure our Noreen Megan in memories, pictures, and music. You will be missed here in this world and yet, we know your dad, grandmother and others are holding you tight. Keep singing so we can still hear you in the quiet, sweetheart. You are loved still.

My condolences to the family. I miss you, my dear friend Noreen.
I met Noreen 10 years ago in Medicine Shop pharmacy. She was such a light!! She would deliver my Mom’s medication to The Heritage & always took extra time to take it right up to her suite (my Mom was blind). When I had a knee replacement surgery booked the surgeon told me to get weight off my knee & Noreen helped me to do exactly that! She was my coach. She was firm, real but so loving…we were friends & yet I never saw her outside of those pharmacy walls. I remember when she told me she met Trevor & his boys! She was over the moon!! Then when she conceived! Showing me her first ultra sound. Then, when back to her work, all the beautiful pictures of her baby & family. I would always look for her & the last couple times I went into the pharmacy she wasn’t there. I learned of her passing the day before her memorial. 😢 I am so shocked & saddened. Thank you for sharing her with me through the live feed as I wasn’t able to attend. It was a such a gift getting to know her a little better. I will miss her beautiful smile, her laugh & her greeting of such pure care & kindness. I send my deepest condolences to her Mom, Trevor & her beautiful boys. Until we meet again my friend 🙏💜
To Noreen and Family,
Sally and I were saddened to hear about the loss of Noreen. Our hearts go out to you and the family..
My heart breaks with sadness? Your smile, your spirit, and laughter will be greatly missed. Sending prayers of comfort to your Sons, your Mom and Partner.
Your Cousin with Love ❤️ ❤️
