Obituary: Shyrl Noreen Hand, 74, The Dalles
Shyrl Noreen Hand of Centerville, Washington, passed away peacefully on June 7, 2025, at Adventist Health Columbia Gorge in The Dalles, Oregon. She was 74 years old.
Noreen was born on May 15, 1951, in Redding, California, to Dewey Franklin and Nora Irene (Richardson) Robirds. A dedicated and spirited entrepreneur, Noreen poured her heart into each of her ventures—including a floral business, a janitorial company, and most recently, her own beauty salon. She was a woman of energy, faith, and warmth who touched many lives through both her work and her friendships.
Noreen found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loved being outdoors—jet skiing, catfishing, and, most of all, spending cherished time with her family. Her unwavering faith as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses was a cornerstone of her life, offering strength and purpose throughout the years. Noreen was passionate about her miniature schnauzers. She started “Premier Miniature Schnauzers” and raised and sold her puppies for over 30 years.
She is survived by her loving husband, George Hutter of Centerville, WA; her son, Rickey Franklin Turner of Carson, WA; her daughter, Ashlea Dawn Lazelle and son-in-law John Michel Lazelle of Centerville, WA; fifteen grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; and her sister, Mary Evalyn Willis of San Marcos, CA.
Noreen was preceded in death by her first husband, Harley Eugene Hands (2008); her daughter, Rachelle Turner; her sons, Reggie Lynn Turner and Harley Wendel Turner; and her siblings Irene, Annie, Gladys, and James.
A memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 16, 2025, at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 333 Nesbitt Street, Goldendale, WA.
