Kathleen Cavanagh Moore, age 70, passed away peacefully on Sunday October 6, 2019 at home, after a long hard-fought battle with Multiple Sclerosis. She was born in Brooklyn, New York, daughter of the late Ellen (Coffey) Cavanagh and the late Fred Cavanagh. She resided in Irvine, CA and previously resided in Ridgefield, CT and Oceanside, NY.

Dear Greg – May God be with you this coming year. I just did some research and found out about Kathy. I remember the last time we talked on the phone. She was a dear friend and I will miss her smiling face. I know the Lord is wrapping his arms around her, She will always be missed and I have very fond memories of her while we were on Woodbridge High Campus.
