In addition to her parents, she is pre-deceased by her siblings Eileen Mooney, James Mooney, and William Mooney. She is also survived by her sister, Margaret “Peggy” Doris; her five nieces and nephews; her 16 great-nieces and nephews; and her seven great-great-nieces and nephews.

Family and friends gathered on Sunday, May 19 at Bradley-Braviak Funeral Home in Whippany. A Funeral Mass was held in her honor at Notre Dame of Mt. Carmel Church, in Cedar Knolls, on Monday, May 20.

Those who wish may contribute in her memory to either the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia or the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers.
