Jeannette Pope Noonan

Sean and Roger,
It was great to see you at your mom's celebration. Both of you have grown to be young men your mom was very, very proud of. Your mom made a huge impact on my teaching. She brought out the best out of who ever she was around, from students to other teachers. She was probably the most creative teacher I ever knew. She was always looking for new ways to impact the students and their learning. What a human being she was. She touched many, many lives!

Sean and Roger: I just heard about the death of your mother. I'm so sorry I didn't know in time to make her memorial. Please accept my deepest sympathy. I have fond memories of your mom - mostly through Green Gables. I worked there too and always enjoyed her creative ideas for kids and her incredible sense of humor. Then too, having children the same age as the two of you makes the bond even closer. I will let David and Joanie know of your loss. You and your families will be in my...

Mrs Noonan was my FAVORITE teacher EVER........she was kind and sweet and taught me well! I was thinking i must have been close to her first year of teaching.
My story to tell is I saw her oh maybe 10 years ago at a little Mexican restaurant in Golden.....I said Mrs. Noonan? She looked at me and said Jo Ann...........how are you???????? OMG, it must have been 50 years ........HOW COULD THAT BE? HOW COULD SHE REMEMBER ME?............WHY??? I WAS THE TEACHERS PET that's the truth, Really how...

I was lucky enough to be one of Jeannette's teammates at Green Gables. What I remember the most from those days were all the field trips and extra fun we did with the kids - Day in Denver, Pine Valley Ranch, Day on the Prairie - and as teachers some crazy escapades to the Bucksnort and Morrison Inn. Everything we did together included fun and laughter.
May Jeannette's incredible spirit live on in your hearts, as it will forever in mine.

Sean and Roger Noonan you both are special childhood friends of ours, Mike and Suzanne Williams. We are saddened by the death of your mother and a wonderful teacher. We were going over memories of our growing up years and the subject of when our poodle Dee Dee bit Roger on the behind. We would love to get in touch with you sometime. Mike (303) 766-4567

I had "Mrs. Noonan" in third grade. Green Gables was a wonderful place, and I have always felt so lucky to have gone to elementary school there. I will always remember the way our classroom smelled- like hazelnut coffee. Mrs. Noonan taught me how to write in cursive, become an entrepreneur during the third grade market, and write creativly with help from her extensive collection of rubber stamps, which we were able to use! I always appreciated her witty sense of humor, which did not go away...

I am a friend of Jaeannette's from elementary school thru high school. I enjoyed seeing Jeannette at our 50th high school reunion in "St. Joseph, Mo - we had a nice conversation. I remember her as being a sweet, nice person to everyone. I am so sorry for your loss.

We were so saddened to hear of Jeannette's death. We have all fond memories of her and her family. I often told her how grateful and uplifted I was as a beneficiary of her kindness. Specifically, when our Kara (now almost 39) was a year old, she had to start wearing a body cast to correct a congential hip problem. We were told she would be in the cast, with monthly changes, for 1 1/2 to 2 years. Upon returning from the first cast application on a cold wintry day, I found a sack on our...

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
