Noreen Christie Trofholz

In Loving Memory of Noreen (Norgard) Trofholz - March 13, 1958 - November 6, 2023. Noreen (Norgard) Trofholz, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, left this world on November 6th, 2023, at the age of 65. She was born on March 13, 1958, to Normand and Millie (Bogue) Norgard in Omaha, NE. Noreen's life was a testament to love, compassion, and unwavering strength. As a child, she discovered her passion for horses, spending her youth riding, training, and showing quarter horses with her sister Sharron and their father Norm. This early love for horses shaped her life and instilled in her a deep connection to nature. In 1976, she married the love of her life, David Trofholz. They shared 47 years of love and companionship, creating a deep and enduring bond. Noreen went on to become a loving mother to Brian Trofholz and Brynn Andersen. Noreen's family meant the world to her, and she cherished every moment spent with her children and grandchildren, including her cherished four grandchildren, Kaelyn, Garrett, Treyson, and Tori, whose laughter and presence brought immeasurable joy into her life. Noreen's warm and caring nature touched the lives of all who knew her. Described by many as a truly kind and compassionate person, she was known for her generosity, her delicious home-cooked meals, and her welcoming home, which was always open to friends and family. Her laughter and sense of humor brought joy to those around her. In addition to her commitment to her family and friends, Noreen found great fulfillment in her work at Children's Hospital, dedicating 25 years of her life. She retired from her role in 2016, leaving behind a legacy of compassion and commitment to those in need. Her love for the hospital and its mission to care for children and families was evident to all who knew her. Noreen's love for life was evident through her many hobbies. She enjoyed taking her dogs dock diving, embarking on exciting trips with David, hosting friends and family, cooking with David on the Big Green Egg (and showing everyone the pictures on Facebook!) and creating memorable boating and camping experiences for several years with family and friends. Noreen's zest for adventure took her and David to various states, including Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and South Dakota. They enjoyed being on the road with their dogs and their dock diving family, creating cherished memories along the way. In 2019, Noreen was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and she battled fiercely for the past 4+ years of her life. Despite the challenges she faced, her determination and resilience inspired all who knew her. Noreen is preceded in death by her parents, Normand and Millie (Bogue) Norgard, and her in-laws, Charles and Lenore Trofholz. She now joins them in eternal peace. Noreen is survived by her husband David Trofholz, her children Brian (Tara) Trofholz, Brynn (Josh) Andersen and her four grandkids Kaelyn and Garrett Andersen, and Treyson and Tori Trofholz and her sister Sharron (Jim) Perchal. Noreen Trofholz will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those she touched with her warmth, kindness, and indomitable spirit. A family visitation to celebrate Noreen's life will be held on Sunday, November 12th, from 2-4 PM at Reichmuth Funeral Home in Elkhorn, NE. A private burial will take place on Monday, November 13th. Family suggests memorials may be given to the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation.
