Carol O'Day Moriarty

Aunt Carol and Uncle Frank always thought of others before themselves. Back in the day when my friend and I unexpectedly showed up at their house, they fed us, cleaned us up , notified our parents and put us on the train back to Boston. When we got home we definitely paid for our mistake. It was a challenging era in the 60's and early 70's. Learn from this and pass it on to your children. Every action has a reaction. Cousin Dave

I discovered at this moment that Carol died in April. Our children and hers went to school together and enjoyed friendships throughout the years. What a wonderful family.
Our deepest sympathy to all. I don't know how we missed this sad news. She was so nice and such a great Mom.

I am a friend of Kathleen's and over the year have heard countless stories of her Mom Carol. I only had the opportunity to meet Carol once at a picnic in San Francisco, but it was memorable. I'll never forget her bright and energetic presence as she greeted me and we chatted briefly. Over the years of knowing Kathleen, I'd come to learn that my small interaction with her mom Carol was a good representation of how she lived her life. With spirit. I'm sorry she left us too soon.

On behalf of Girl Scouts of Connecticut, we offer our condolences for the passing of your loved one, who was a sister in Girl Scouting. Her dedication to girls was remarkable and respected by all. We offer you our sincerest thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Mary Barneby, CEO

Kathleen and Family: My heart breaks for your family on losing your Mother, especially so suddenly when she was so full of life. I have had the privilege of meeting Carol several times over the years when she would visit my friend and colleague Kathleen in San Francisco. She was truly a wonderful woman and the brightest light in any room. In my over fourteen years of knowing Kathleen, she only speaks of her Mother with such love and admiration of her strength and humor. She has a great legacy in her children and grandchildren that she without doubt has influenced greatly. I have never met a more giving, kind and compassionate person than Kathleen and I have often noted how Kathleen resembles her Mom. Its an admirable thing to raise kind and loving children in this world and that is a testament to this wonderful family. Take comfort in your loving family and memories of your Mother. It is a true blessing to have such a close and loving family as yours in times like these. Ani

Tom and Family,
My sincere sympathy and love to you on the death of Carol. Thinking of you and lifting you and your needs in my prayer today and in the days ahead.

Our deepest sympathy to our O'Day cousins. Your mom will be greatly missed. She was the best Aunt and dedicated sister. I will miss her tremendously. Love cousin Debbie and family!

I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to my childhood neighbors and friends, Anne, Patrick, Kathleen, Tara, and Maureen on the passing of your wonderful mom. Some of my fondest memories of growing up in Madison revolve around spending time with your family. Your mom always welcomed us from the moment we moved next door. She was never too busy to whip up a batch of snickerdoodles or cart a van load of kids to a drive-in movie. She was a very special person and I am glad that she was part of my childhood! My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. With Love and Prayers, Debbie (Yalmokas) Kelly

To the O'Day family,
Our deepest sympathies. Aunt Carol has always put others before herself. She is the benchmark of caring. She is going to be greatly missed. God Bless,
Cousin Dave Pitts & Family

Pat, Anne, Kathleen,Tara, Maureen, I was shocked to hear the news of your mothers passing to say the least. I have wonderful memories of her growing up and all you guys. She was a sister to my mother and they are reunited once again. My heart goes out to you all.

Dearest Tom and all of Carol's family....
Alan and I are shocked and saddened beyond belief to hear of Carol's tragic passing.

We had the opportunity to get to know both Carol and Tom during our oh-so-eventful bicycle trip through Belguim and France almost one year ago.....their Honeymoon!
Carol was fit, fun and could out-cycle most of us....some at least two decades younger!!

Carol was beautiful....on the inside and out and is now a beautiful angel
Know that you are in our prayers.

I can't think of my childhood in Madison without thinking of the O'Day family and smiling. I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of your mother, Carol. She was a kind, special person who welcomed our family the moment we moved next door. My sister, Debbie, and I always marveled at the way your mom managed all of you guys and friends, too. She never lost her cool in spite of the craziness. Your mom's fried dough was awesome! Glad that I knew her as a child and all of you. So sorry for your loss. Heaven has gained a beautiful angel.With love and peace, Laura Yalmokas Coughlin

My deepest condolences to Carol's family and friends. I had the honor of getting to know Carol as her manager for the M.O.W. progam. The impact she had on us is immeasurable. Her smile made us smile. Her laugh made us laugh. Her kindness made us all strive to be a little kinder. She will forever be in our hearts and prayers.

Carol was a great lady. She had such a warm and caring heart. I always looked forward to seeing her on hiking, cycling and kayaking trips. She will be missed.

Cousins.... You know how I feel about your mom. Everyone should have an Auntie Carol in their life.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let the perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Amen.
