Noyes asked wildlife officers to help remove the bears, but it was too late.
Now, they're all being chased from the rural area near Yachats as authorities try to restore the peace.
The 61-year-old Noyes was convicted of harassing wildlife and sentenced Thursday to three years probation.
Lincoln County Circuit Judge Thomas Branford also ordered her to stay away from her home and a seven-mile stretch of Yachats River Road for three years, beginning Aug. 31.
When humans feed bears, wildlife experts say, the bears lose their fear of humans and can become nuisances.
Branford called the behavior of Noyes stunning and offensive.
"I commend you for loving the animals," the judge said.
But he added: "It's not enough to love. You have to love the right way and you still haven't. Bears are not your pets to do with as you please."
Noyes was cited for feeding the bears last year after calling the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife seeking assistance.
Witnesses for the state testified that she had been warned to stop feeding the bears as early as 2003 but refused to listen.
Noyes insisted she had never been warned.
"He is convinced I was," Noyes told The Oregonian newspaper. "None of my neighbors ever warned me. Not once. That is the truth. He has his mind made up that what Fish and Game said was true."
During the trial, neighbors testified they'd become frightened to walk outside their homes because her feeding had attracted so many animals.
