To the families of Jane and Bill~
I had met Jane years ago at a bible study in Candia, NH. I loved reconnecting with her every year at the Deerfield Fair. She was such a lovely lady. I am sorry that I did not get to know her better. I just heard of their deaths this past week.
My heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to you all.

My family and I were deeply saddened to hear about the tragic loss of “Miss Noon” and her husband, Bill. Jane Noon was my sister’s first grade teacher and my fifth grade teacher. We always looked forward to giving her our updates at the Deerfield Fair. She was a very caring woman. May God bless for all her dedicated years in educating children.
Please accept our deepest sympathy,
Alyssa Terry Clement, Nichole Terry McCormick, and the Terry family

Although I only saw Jane at the fairs, her soap was the only soap I have used for years. Always a kind word. This event was so tragic and I mourn your loss. What a gal. It was my pleasure to have met her.

Jane was a dear friend - she was my son's 1st grade teacher and my grandson's. My grandson was physically challenged and went to school on a belly board. Jane made his 1st year a succesful and happy one. She will be missed by our whole family.

To The Noon Family: Pain of this severity has no cure. The tragedy you face is endless. My memories are numerous of Jane, you all and the love she held for you.She was talented...our apartment was accented with Jane's creative bent. Your dad and Mom were rich in support...food, a helping hand.. your dad built my bureau....Plymouth, Strafford House, St Pat's Day..Green beer...parties, etc. Derry was never the same! We lived and laughed...such a heart wrenching end to a warm hearted
woman...We shall miss her vibrancy, talent and laugh....but not as much as you...her brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews...too soon, too horrific, we will never fave a March 17th without the memory of the pride and joy Jane brought to that day. May God place His loving arm around all of you and welcome both Jane and Bill into His loving care. Here Jane will be reunited with her parents whom she had missed so much. God Bless You all

Jane and Bill were two of the most loving people that we have meet in may years. We took care of their home for many years while they went to relax in Florida. It was great to share time at the fairs with them. As the years have gone on and sales have risen we were there to lend a hand. We shared many great dinners with them at Pasqualli's where Bill could get his oil fix. Our wishes are that they are with God and Jane sits as the angel that she is.

My deepest sympathy to the Noon family. I have been Jane's accountant for over 20 years, back when she was still teaching. She was a very nice lady, and was shocked to see her obituary in the Derry News last night. If you need any help with their financial affairs, please feel free to contact me at 434-4824. I have copies of a lot of their older documents that you might need.
