saysOver the course of several years in the 1970s, Dr. Noonan successfully treated my daughter for a congenital heart condition. Dedicated, caring, compassionate, Dr. Noonan was a truly remarkable person. An engraved brick in her honor has been ordered and will be placed in The Lexington Woman's Recognition Garden, Wellington Park, Lexington, KY 40503.

saysNot only did Dr. Noonan save my life in 1975 but she always remembered my specific case and would often ask my mother for updates when they ran into each other around Lexington. She was a pioneer in her field but also a wonderful and caring human being. God bless and rest in peace
Dr Rakesh Sachdeva
saysThe world of Pediatrics has lost an illustrious luminary. Dr Noonan was a brilliant physician scientist who was way ahead of her times.She was the epitome of humility and compassion. She loved coming to Eastern Kentucky for the outreach clinics to see her patients,so they did not have to travel.Our medical students at KYCOM were inspired by her! Drs Seema and Rakesh Sachdeva Pikeville
