Nicole NOAL -03 - NSWPF 48715 - Died 26 July 2025
Nicole NOAL

💜🖤🤍 VALE NICOLE NOAL nee BOYCE 🤍🖤💜
It is with extreme sadness that I announce the passing of our much valued club member Nicole Noal nee Boyce.
This post is a bit of a personal one as I have know Nicole for more the 3 quarters of my life.
Nicole was a much valued member of Cambridge Park Netball Club for many many years from juniors right through to seniors even when moving away while studying to become a police office and even travelling from Camden every week the past couple of years to still play for Cambridge Park.
Nicole was such a fighter. Even when life threw her every curve ball, she still took on the challenge head on. Even right till the end.
She was the most kind heart gentle selfless person I have ever met. So much so that when she was diagnosed the 2nd time round she apologised to me because it meant I was going to lose a 2nd childhood friend in less then 2 years. But that summed up Nic. Always thinking of others first.
Nicole your determination, kind heart, loving soul and every other word that one can describe you will be missed truly and deeply. The world has lost another beautiful soul and will never be the same.
You will always be remembered and will always be missed.
Much love, thoughts and prayers to the Boyce and Noal family during this time. Not only myself but also the club will always be there for you.
Love and prayers
Narelle and CPNC Committee

 


18 February 2025
At the end of last year we launched Senior Constable Nicole Noal‘s fundraising page.
There was an enormous and heartfelt outpouring of support for this strong and generous individual going through such a momentous time, and we thank you all for that 💙
Her colleagues and friends have now organised a Fundraising Dinner for Friday 28 March at The Cube in Campbelltown, and everyone is invited.

Nicole NOAL -02 - NSWPF 48715 - Died 26 July 2025
Nicole NOAL  & daughters. 

Event description

In June 2021, Nicole was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer. She commenced medical treatment and underwent several medical procedures including invasive surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.

In March 2022, Nicole responded positively to surgery by entering remission.

Unfortunately, on 27th November 2024, Nicole received the devastating news that bowel cancer returned. This cancer is incurable. She was informed her life expectancy is 12 months. Nicole will be undergoing chemotherapy in the coming months. It will hopefully extend her life expectancy and assist with pain management.

All profits will go towards Nicole and her family with the mounting medical bills.

Dress for this special night is Cocktail / Semi Formal.

16 December 2024
It’s never a good time for bad news, but it hits even harder at such a family time of the year.
Senior Constable Nicole Noal has been a serving NSW Police Force officer for 13 years, and with her husband (also a NSWPF officer), is raising two young daughters.
Having faced bowel cancer several years ago, Nicole was recently given the news that it had returned, in an inoperable fashion.
She has been given 12 months to live.
Her colleagues have organised a fundraiser to help with the medical financial burden, as Nicole remains determined to create lasting memories with her family while she is able to.

Born in Tenterfield 85 years ago.

His parents Warren and Doris (Dot) Schroder owned, around 70 years ago, Crookwell Top Pub. Garry met and married Bonnie Grove 64 years ago in Crookwell and their first child Julianne was born at Crookwell.

He was a proud member of the Volunteer Crookwell Fire Dept with Bonnie’s father Hedley Grove being the Fire Chief. Garry had learnt to drive and received his Truck Licence on the original Fire truck ( the large photo hangs in the Crookwell Fire Station ).

His name appears on the Fire Station wall.

Garry Warren SCHRODER 01A - NSWPF 10299 - Died 27 March 2025

Garry joined the NSW Police aged 22 ; retiring as a Crown Sergeant.

His mother, Doris Schroder’s family tree, goes back to the original Convict Settlers of Goulburn, Crookwell and Laggan.

Garry was directly related to the following families:

North, South, Frost, Jeffery, Naughton, Broderick, Hennessey.

Thus, making most of the Upper Lachlan Shire our Family.

Bonnie and Family want to thank Crookwell for the beautiful messages and love during this time.
