Randy Noah Obituary
Randy Noah, age 73, passed away on March 7, 2025 at home with his family by his side. He was born to Joseph and Rita Noah in Webster Groves, MO. He lived there until attending Arizona State University and Beloit College earning a BA degree and Northern Illinois University earning a MA degree in Anthropology.
Randy called Albuquerque home since 1977. He became a Juvenile Probation Officer in 1978 at Children's Court and later oversaw that department. He started the CASA program in New Mexico at the Juvenile Justice Center advocating for abused and neglected children. Randy was the Program Director of CASA volunteers and remained in that role for many years. He completed his time with Second Judicial District Court as a Deputy Court Administrator until his retirement. Randy continued to do community and family contract mediation including eldercare and open adoptions.
Northern Minnesota held a special place for Randy. Growing up, he spent his summers at the family cabin Aspen Lodge water skiing, fishing and canoeing. He continued to go with Jan, David and Laura and later with their families. Randy enjoyed watching his children play soccer when they were young. In the past, he and Jan snow skied and played doubles tennis together. Randy loved being Granddad to his three grandsons. He was supportive, easy going and kind. Randy had a heart of gold and touched so many lives. He is deeply missed by all that knew him.
Randy is preceded in death by his parents and brother Bob. He is survived by his wife Jan, son David (wife Amy), grandsons Matthew and Nathan, daughter Laura (husband William) and grandson Landon. Also, he is survived by his sister Liz (husband Jim), a nephew and many cousins.
The family expresses deep gratitude and special thanks to Dr. Avitia and staff at the NM Cancer Center and to Rust Medical Center Oncology nurses and staff for the compassionate care given to Randy throughout his treatments.
A memorial service to honor Randy will be held at 10:00 a.m. on May 17th, 2025 at St. John's Cathedral, 318 Silver SW, Albuquerque, NM. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Carrie Tingley Hospital Foundation.

I served on the Vestry with Randy. He was a man of few words, sometimes because he couldn't get a word in edgewise. But who wasn't drawn to his gentle kindness? Though I didn't know what work he did, as I read the obituary, it didn't surprise me at all that he started the CASA program, as well as all he did in service to help those most vulnerable. It was my great honor to get to know and work with Randy. My condolences to you, Jan, David & Laura, as well as his Grandkids and all who loved and will miss Randy. He and his quiet kindness will always be remembered
