Catherine J. Doty, M.D.
saysDr. Noonan was also respected and beloved by all of the Residents who were fortunate enough to be trained under her wise tutelage. Her influence on me, as a young physician, was immense. Rest peacefully my teacher and my friend.
Angeli Noonan - Italian Association for the Noonan Syndrome
saysWith immense sadness we learn of the loss of Dr. Jacqueline Noonan. A good cardiology is gone, an excellent geneticist and a dear mother who with her discovery gave a name to these angels, her name. We had the pleasure and the honor of meeting you, you welcomed us with sweet and caressing words, you showed us which way to go. Now you will be an angel up there, a true Noonan angel, and from there you will continue to guide down here our every angel who will carry your name forever. Hi Jacqueline, rest in peace in the hands of God.

Donna Armstrong
saysDr. Jackie Noonan was an incredible physician and teacher. I met her through her volunteer work with Hospice of the Bluegrass (now Bluegrass Care Navigators). She assisted with the Pediatric Palliative Care and Hospice Program. She was compassionate, caring, and dedicated. She was semi-retired, but still so very involved both at KY Children’s and in the community. Dr. Noonan was truly an inspiration. I know she deeply loved her family and I am deeply sorry for your loss. She will be missed.
