Eto blames the CCG for "taking" Noro from her, so we can infer, based on his state of decay and the various other hints throughout, that they killed him and Eto somehow discovered the ability to "regenerate" his corpse with her kagune, making him a kagune monster. She then used this same ability on Kanae after torturing her to the point of at least near-death, creating the Kanae we saw at the end of her life. The difference between her and Noro as opposed to Kaneki and Takizawa is that she and Noro both had something to hold onto - she her love for Tsukiyama, he his love for Eto (his final words demonstrate his continued care for her). Kaenki and Takizawa were both somewhat cowards before undergoing their respective traumas and were unable to face their loves - or at least hadn't realized them - and as a result, they share whitened hair, a permanent mark of their inability to cope and grasp what's happened to them. That's without dipping into the aging process of demi-humans like Arima, which seems to be the opposite for half-ghouls like Eto (she implies at one point that she's quite old yet still looks very young, iirc). Amon underwent the same process, but he had been established to have a very, very strong sense of self, and thus didn't undergo the Marie Antoinette syndrome the other two did.
