She has been awarded honorary doctorates from Miami University, St. John Fisher College, her alma mater Fairleigh Dickinson University, Adelphi College, and Saint Francis College. She was nominated for Emmy Awards for her work on The West Wing and America: A Tribute to Heroes.
Noonan married Richard W. Rahn, who was then chief economist at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, in 1985. They lived in Great Falls, Virginia. Their son Will was born in 1987. Noonan and her husband were divorced after five years of marriage. In 1989 she returned with her son to her native New York.

Noonan currently lives in New York City.

In mid-August 2004, Noonan took a brief, unpaid leave from the Wall Street Journal to campaign for George W. Bush's reelection. In the years since, Noonan has become increasingly critical of the administration since Bush's inaugural address in January 2005, reflective possibly of schisms affecting the current-day U.S. conservative movement.
Before the Reagan years, she worked as daily CBS Radio commentary writer for anchorman Dan Rather at CBS News, whom she once called "the best boss I ever had." From 1975 through 1977 she worked the overnight shift as a newswriter at WEEI Radio in Boston, where she was later Editorial and Public Affairs Director.
She has worked as a contributor on the hit US political drama The West Wing.
Noonan frequently cites the political figures she admires, including Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Edmund Burke and Samuel Johnson.
