Kathleen Malloy Obituary
Born and raised in Levittown, Pa., Kathleen graduated from St. Michael the Archangel Grade School and Bishop Conwell High School. Kathleen received her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pa.
Kathleen devoted her entire career to helping and bringing profound joy to others. She worked at several health care and non-profit organizations throughout her professional career, including Brookdale Senior Living, Manor Care, and most recently serving as Marketing manager for Right-at-Home Home Care in Bucks County.
Kathleen served as both a strong advocate and captivating public speaker for the causes closest to her heart on several occasions. She was an active member of the Philadelphia Chapters of the ALS Association and Alzheimer's Association. She assisted in educational outreach for patients, caregivers and their families suffering from the diseases of dementia, Alzheimer's Disease and the disease which found itself closest to her heart, ALS. Kathleen and her passionate Moravian alumni helped to found the Patrick J. Malloy III Scholarship at Moravian College for deserving students in honor of her brother and traveled to Harrisburg to lobby the state legislature for funding to assist patients with medication, equipment, and care.
Kathleen was a selfless advocate for ALS, along with her family, to help find a cure for this disease. ALS, the disease which took her beloved father, older brother, and younger sister, ultimately claimed her own precious life as well, much too soon.
Left behind to mourn her passing are her most beloved mother and stepfather, Kathleen Malloy-Trapenasso and Joseph Trapenasso of Levittown; brother, John Malloy (Judy) of Levittown and their son, Spencer Malloy and his fiancé, Ali Pump; brother, Timothy Malloy (Jody) of Yardley and their daughters, Rachel, Rebecca, and Bridget; brother, Charles Malloy of Glen Allen, Va.; nephew, Joshua Alger and his fianceé, Amanda Moreadith; uncle,
Michael White, now residing in Chandler, Ariz.; several precious cousins and their families; and a bounty of treasured lifelong friends.
Preceding her in death are her father, Patrick J. Malloy Jr. of Levittown; eldest brother, Patrick J. Malloy III of Hoboken, N.J., and younger sister, AnnaMarie Malloy of Levittown.
Family and friends are invited to call from 8 until 10 a.m. Wednesday, July 10, at St. Michael the Archangel Church, 66 Levittown Parkway, Levittown, where her Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Interment will be held privately in Forest Hills Cemetery, where she will be laid to rest alongside her late father, brother, and younger sister.
In lieu of flowers, Kathleen requested that donations be made to the Penn Comprehensive Neuroscience Center's ALS Clinic, c/o Leo F. McCluskey, M.D., MBE, 330 South 9th Street, Philadelphia, PA.
Please remember her message: "Love Everyone Unconditionally."

This is the third time that I've visited this page. I just didn't have the words. I feel thankful to have known Kathleen and all of her family. She was a lovely soul; sweet and very funny at times. Time, distance and different directions in life separated us, but we were just starting to renew our friendship. I will miss her inspiring posts and the coffee/lunch that we never got to have together. However, I am thankful to God that I got to see her in April. Her kindness and, even while sick, sense of humor still shone through. You were not just physically beautiful, Kathleen. You were beautiful in heart and spirit, also. Prayers for her soul and all of her loved ones; her brothers and, especially, her dear mother. May God be with each one of you. May He strengthen and comfort you and give you the faith to know that she is in a beautiful place. God bless. Annie.

To the Trapenasso and Malloy families...I didn't have the opportunity to know beautiful Kathleen very well, but in the short time I did get to be with her, I found her to be a warm, intelligent, kind and beautiful person. I take comfort in the fact that she is with her beloved Annie and the rest of her departed family in the Kingdom of Heaven. I feel blessed to have known her, even if so briefly. Please accept my deepest condolences and love.

To the Malloy-Trapenasso family: words are inadequate to express my sadness in the loss of dear Kathleen (to me always KTM). I was her coworker, and in knowing her, then reading of her other selfless accomplishments and sacrifices, I realize again just how remarkable a woman she was. May you find comfort in her memory, and may dear KTM Rest In Peace with Our Lord throughout eternity. Always in my heart and prayer. ❣❣

My heart is breaking for the Malloy - Trapenasso family. No one should ever have to bury a child but to bury three in less than three years is just horrible. Cass, Joe, John, Timmy and Charlie you are all in my thoughts and prayers that God gives you the strength to get through this. Kathleen you have earned your wings so fly high with the angels. Ying and Yang are together again. Please give Ann (my Lil sis) a huge hug and kiss from me. RIP and we will continue your work against ALS. Love you
