Katherine Moronski Obituary
Katie attended Windsor Learning Center in Pompton Lakes, NJ, during her primary years and graduated from Chamberlain International School in Middleboro, MA. She was cherished by her peers and staff for her wit and quirky humor, which brightened the lives of those around her.
Katie had a profound love for animals and was particularly passionate about horses. She spent many hours grooming and riding horses, and she possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of animal trivia. Her artistic talents were expressed through drawing, and she enjoyed reading manga and animal-themed books.
Katie is survived by her loving parents, Lynne and Sean Moronski; her sister, Elizabeth "Liz"; maternal grandparents, Robert and Jenifer Saliba; paternal grandparents, Mary and Frank Moronski; paternal uncle, George Saliba; paternal aunt and uncle, Frank and Sorcha Moronski; and her first cousins, Abigail, Henry, and Charlotte.
Visitation will be held on Tuesday, July 2, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Doyle Funeral Home, 106 Maple Avenue, Morristown, NJ. A Mass will follow on Wednesday, July 3, at 10:00 a.m. at the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic Church, 91 Maple Avenue, Morristown, NJ. Doyle Funeral Home, located in Morristown, NJ 07960, is assisting the family during this difficult time.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Shannon Daley Memorial Fund in Katie's name, which supports local families in need. Donations can be made through their website at shannonfund.org.
Katie's life was a beacon of joy and kindness, and her memory will forever be cherished by those who knew her. Her departure is deeply felt by her family, friends, and all who were touched by her gentle spirit.

Katie will always be one of the first friends I had at chamberlain. She´s beyond smart. She really loved Brady the horse. But she continues to inspire me daily. The one thing I remember most is when we would compare which horse was better. Remmy or Brady. We always come to a tie as they are both great. But Katie, she´s the sweetest person I know still.

I met Katie at the beginning of my stay and Im so saddened to hear this. I loved her love for manga and drawing. My fondest memory is her love for ketchup and her dear Benny! I hope she and Benny have lots of fun times together up in heaven. condolences and prayers to her family

I loved Katie's spirit! Her laugh, her artistry and her fun facts. I was her House Manager at Chamberlain and especially admired her knowledge and her love of animals. I am truly saddened by her passing and extend my deepest condolences to Katie's Mom and Dad as well as all those that lived her.

To say Katie touched the lives of everyone who knew her is an understatement. While working with Katie in her residence at Chamberlain I got to learn a lot about her and genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. Katie is one of the sweetest humans I´ve ever met. I will always remember her for her unique sense of humor and her smile that would light up a room. She made such a huge impact on my life and I´m sure many others. My deepest condolences to the Moronski family. You´ll be missed Katie, so much love.

I had the privilege of growing up with Katie and her sister, Liz. My family would visit the Moronski´s nearly every year, and many of my fondest memories involve the time I spent with Katie and Liz. What will always stick with me about Katie was how incredibly affectionate she was. My sister, Pearl, and I feel truly blessed that Katie was such an essential part of our childhood. We´re both better off for having known her. We love her and the rest of her family deeply.

I was Katie´s speech and language therapist at Chamberlain International School. I am so saddened by her loss. I am sad for you, her family, and for the rest of the world who will miss out on knowing Katie. I knew her as sweet, funny, fiery, inquisitive and kind. Katie spoke of her family so often and about how much she loved you all.
I loved our talks about animals and especially our talks about horses, for which we shared a passion. I may have learned everything there was to know about Benny the guinea pig and their adventures. Getting to see the beautiful, colorful, quirky characters that she drew and the stories that she wrote were highlights of my week. Her creativity and imagination were things to behold. I hope that in time all of our broken hearts, and especially yours, for the loss of Katie will heal. She was a bright star that even death cannot extinguish for those who remember her. I will miss you forever, Katie.

To the Moronski family - Words cannot express how sorry I was to hear of your unspeakable loss. Katie had a cute personality! Over the past seven years it was my pleasure to have Katie as a student. She loved art, history, anthropology and creative writing.
Sending my heart-felt sympathy to Katie's loved ones. May she rest in eternal peace. Love, April Phelps

I had the pleasure of working with Katie at Chamberlain school. She had the best laugh it was contagious. Her questions of animals had me thinking that she was actually teaching me things I didn't know them. She was truly one of the best kids there. Rest in the sweetest peace KatieBell!!

Katie was my first ever friend. Just two months older than me, I got the greatest gift of being able to grow up with Katie and her sister Liz. Our families remained close over the years even after moving to different states. I grew up thinking we were cousins and have so many fond memories of Katie, Liz, and my brother, Justin, and I playing international spies in the backyard, going to the trampoline park, and swinging on the hammock. I admired Katie´s intelligence and confidence. She was an incredibly kind and smart young woman. My heart goes out to the Moronski´s. I will miss you forever, Katie.

I remember Katie as inquisitive, and when she asked you a question you needed to think, and give a thoughtful answer, and be prepared for a follow-up question. I remember her as affectionate and hugging like she meant it. I remember her gentleness, particularly with animals. And I remember her affinity for ketchup!
But mostly I remember Katie as an integral part of a loving family, a family she loved, and loved being part of, and that completely loved her.

I had the privilege of working with Katie while she was at F. L. Chamberlain. Katie was a good student and had a great sense of humor. Katie love for animals was always a topic of conversation. The knowledge she had for flowers and animals amazed me. There were many conversations of her beloved Benny. Just recently we went to an exotic animal zoo and she was all smiles and she educate me on some of them. Katie also wanted " a big hug" the last day before she left Chamberlain. She will be missed by so many. Rest in peace our little angel

My deepest condolences to the entire family of precious Katie.. I worked with Katie during her years at the chamberlain school and always looked forward to checking in with Katie to hang out with her and talk about various topics.. As a staff member from the chamberlain school I can´t possibly express how much I adored katie, and so did every single staff member of that community , students as well.. Our hearts are broken!!! I pray deeply that the family finds healing from the love that so many people have for her and i pray that our Katie rests in the sweetest peace surrounded by all the things that she loves....

Katie was my daughter Pearl's first playmate. Their friendship gave me and Lynne a few precious moments of "mom time" that was so rare at the time. So close in age and so alike, people in our town routinely confused them or thought they were twins. As they grew, and both of our families moved, we prioritized seeing each other whenever we could fit it into our busy family and work schedules. My kids had such respect for Katie. She was unique, and while her differences frustrated Katie at times, she was unafraid of her uniqueness, carrying it with pride and grace. Her resilience against many challenges was inspiring to us all.

So many hours together when they were little. My tears are splashing remembering all those times we spent together at the moms club and our shared outings at our local laundry helping each other while making laundry fun for our little girls. We love you and are thinking of you all and wish her soul much peace knowing she was so very loved.
