A Match Made in Maybelline Heaven. Jean and Noel Williams Love Story

It was a freezing cold February morning in Chicago when the Bride arrived at the church soon to be wed to Maybelline Company’s Vice President Noel James Williams son Noel Allen. Jean Kilroy and Allen met in High School and now 7 years later the wedding of the year was finally taking place in 1949.

The Bride assisted by her her parents. 

200 guests waited patiently for the Bride to make her appearance as the Groom watched with quiet excitement next to his brother, and Best Man, Dick Williams.

Jean was a stunning Bride and it proved to be worth the wait to see the beautiful gown she chose to wear. 

This was a true love match and Jean and Noel remained married until his death in 1994.
