Virginia Davis Nooe and Gilbert Nooe were excited to announce the arrival of Molly Sue Nooe in Ashland, Kentucky on April 25, 1943. During elementary school, Molly and her family moved to Maysville where Gilbert became an owner and manager of a fertilizer factory. Molly Sue’s formative years were all in Maysville where she established strong friendships that lasted throughout her life – Molly always let everyone know she was a Maysville girl.
Molly’s passion growing up was art which led her to enroll in the University of Cincinnati’s School of Design, Architecture & Art when she graduated from Maysville High School in 1961. Molly graduated with a dual degree in Fine Arts and Art Education and then became an art teacher in the Covington, Kentucky school system.
