Meghan O'Malley Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 26, 2016.
Meghan Elizabeth O'Malley, 46, of Dunmore, died tragically Friday, Dec. 23, at her apartment as the result of a fire.

Born in Scranton, daughter of the late John P. O'Malley and Catherine J. Price O'Malley of Clarks Summit, Meghan was a 1988 graduate of Abington Heights High School. She was a standout athlete in high school, excelling at diving and track and field, where she held numerous school records. She was a graduate of Keystone College and attended Penn State Worthington Scranton and the University of Scranton. She was employed by the State Workman's Insurance Fund for 15 years in the auditing department and was most recently employed by Aramark, working at the University of Scranton.

Meghan loved her family and friends with a deep passion. She was an empathetic person who was eager to lend a helping hand to a friend in need. She adored her cat, Zoey, who also perished in the fire. Anyone who knew Meg well can attest to her big heart, kind nature and infectious smile.

She is survived by her loving mother, Catherine, Clarks Summit; her sister, Bridget O'Malley Goryeb, her husband, Glen Goryeb, niece, Emily Goryeb and nephew, Gregg Goryeb, Dalton; brother, Tim and his wife, Adrianne O'Malley, of Estero, Fla.; several aunts, uncles and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her father, John P. O'Malley; and an infant sister, Mary.

Friends may call Tuesday from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Albert P. O'Donnell Funeral Home, 2025 Green Ridge St., Dunmore. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Wednesday, Dec. 28, at 9:30 a.m. in Our Lady of the Snows Church, South State Street, Clarks Summit.

Hello Cathy,
As I told you in 2011 when we met, you're one of the most dear mates for me. I remember you always with a smile in your face when you arrived in classroom.
Today, when I received the incredible and terribly news about your daughter death, I just can't help to remember the day back in 2004, when I received a similar notice. Somebody called tell to say that my son was killed in an accident. So, I know exactly how you feel, I wish I could be next to you in this sad time, since it has been worse because of the season.
Nothing in this world has succeed trying to cheer a mother who loses her child, and therere not word that can described the pain, so Cathy Im just trying to say that I'm with you in my heart and spirit, that my best energy has been sent. Maybe somebody could think that we dont know each other too much, but for me is enough with the smile you gave me everyday back in school.
Love
Lupe
