People who attended the service said that alongside the sadness and grief there was warmth and laughter as extended family and co-workers spoke of the woman they said had been loved by all who knew her.
At the request of the family, media kept their distance, standing on street corners to film and photograph Ms Noble's casket as it was placed in the hearse before the funeral procession moved to a graveside farewell at the Ashburton Cemetery.
Among the mourners were Social Development Minister Paula Bennett, Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew and Ashburton mayor Angus McKay.
The funeral for the other victim Susan Leigh Cleveland was held in Alexandra on Saturday.
Ashburton man Russell John Tully has been charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.
