Summary: Memorial Services for Noreen Sergent, 62, and her husband, Jerry Sergent, 63, of Williston, ND, were held November 5, 2021, at the Fulkerson Stevenson Funeral Home in Williston. Noreen Ann Sergent passed away with family by her side on October 27, 2021 at Essential Health in Fargo, ND, after a long battle with the effects of Covid. Noreen was born on September 17, 1959, to Clifford and Betty Munson in Malta, MT. Noreen loved God and it was evident by her tenacious spirit. She could often be heard praying or reciting scriptures. When words would fail her, one simple phrase remained....”But God”.... She led a faith filled life and thanked God daily for her husband, children, grandchildren and family. She would call each day just to say she was “Going through grandchildren withdrawal.” She enjoyed butterflies, crosses, flowers and writing. Jerry and Noreen were married in January 1979 and later welcomed two children, Ryan and Jenny. They spent time living in various cities in Montana, eventually settling in Williston, ND. Over the years they worked many odd jobs often bringing the children along where they could create adventures. Together, Jerry and Noreen built a life of love, compassion, faith and helping others. They were known by many as “mom and dad.” While Jerry always welcomed the opportunity to take others on fishing trips and carry out in depth conversations, Noreen was quick to share the Word of God and pray with and for others. Their life together was a testament to loving faithfulness. Jerry and Noreen are survived by their two children, Ryan Sergent and Jenny (James) McQuiston; 13 grandchildren; several brothers and sisters; nieces and nephews; Noreen’s mother, Betty Munson; the many people who called them “Mom and Dad,” whom they cherished deeply. Preceding Jerry and Noreen in death were Jerry’s mother, Ruby Owens; father, Albert Sergent; stepmother, Lorene Crider; stepfather, Billy Owens; sister, Carol Dixon; nephews, Albert Dixon and Rocky Sergent; Noreen’s father, Clifford Munson; sister-in-law, Rita (Daryl) Munson; unborn great-grandson, Alix McQuiston.
