“Noel Quesenberry will be fondly remembered by friends and family as a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and true friend. Noel approached life with a positive outlook, loved to have fun and made a special connection with everyone he met. He was true to his word and dedicated as a teacher and devoted mentor. Always generous with his time, Noel went above and beyond to bring excellence to everything he did.

Among his many accomplishments, Noel had an amazing 47 year career with Foster Farms. He knew the company inside and out and was often the "face of Foster Farms" to visiting dignitaries. He was most proud of receiving the 2003 Board of Directors' Fleet Safety Award from the California Trucking Association. Noel was also an avid fisherman and hunter and was a member of the Ambassadors. Each year, he participated in the Take A Kid Fishing tournament and hosted disabled children for a wonderful day on the lake.

Noel was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Jessie Quesenberry, and his brother, Frankie Quesenberry. He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Paulette Quesenberry; his daughter and son-in-law, Jenifer and Brian Beswick; his grandchildren, Brandon and Claire Beswick; his sisters, Norma Foster Maddy and Linda Hackney; his brothers, Don and David Quesenberry; numerous nieces and nephews and countless friends.
