Anthony M. “Tony” Noce

Anthony M. “Tony” Noce passed away peacefully on April 21, 2020 after a courageous battle with brain cancer. Born Sept. 17, 1965 in Rochester, NY, he was the son of Frank and Rosemary “Pat” Noce. He graduated from McQuaid Jesuit High School in 1983 and SUNY Potsdam with a degree in Secondary Education and Biology in 1988.

On October 11, 1992 he was united in marriage to his loving wife Annette Colangelo Noce. He worked for the American Chemical Society as the Assistant Director of Member Programs in Washington DC, of which he was a member for 32 years. He was passionate about many things, including his family, friends, sports, cooking, his beloved dog “The Lovely and Talented Miss Freckles”, and the power of chemistry to transform people’s lives for the better.

He was predeceased by his father Frank S. Noce and mother-in-law Immaculate “Mackie” Martuscello Colangelo. In addition to his wife Annette of 27 years, Tony leaves behind his daughter Nicole Marie, sons Anthony Michael Jr and Adam Salvatore, mother Rosemary Noce, sister Mary Joan Noce, brother Patrick (Nicole) Noce, and father-in-law John (Lynda) Colangelo as well as numerous nieces, nephews, godchildren, and cousins.

Tony’s family is most thankful for the GW Cancer Center and Inova Alexandria for his wonderful care. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Frank S. Noce and Anthony M. Noce ’83 Endowed Scholarship Fund at McQuaid Jesuit High School in Rochester, NY. Details on a memorial service will be relayed at a later date.
