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.

saysI would like to convey my deepest condolences to Dr. Noonan's family and to the entire community of families related to Noonan Syndrome. We have been very fortunate to have this great professional and person who has given name and shape to a syndrome that was invisible. Thank you for lighting up the darkness for many families around the world. You will always be in our hearts.
