Anna was a dedicated educator and a great cook. She also always had a new project to start on around whatever house she was currently living in. I had the honor of teaching next door to her at Peoria High School. She cared about her students and her subject matter. It was too bad Latin was dropped which was a loss to the school district.

I taught next door to Anna and witnessed her knowledge in English and Latin and her determination to teach students what she knew. Peoria High was fortunate to have her as a teacher. And I don't think there wasn't anything she couldn't cook. And she always had a project in her home under construction and some time being spent with a dog who may have been in charge at her home

Ms. Moriarty will always be remembered as fun loving. I was just talking to my 13 year old daughter about Ms. Moriarty and how she spent extra time outside of class to help improve my reading level. It really paid off. Thank you, Ms. Moriarty, to your contribution to education and to making the world a brighter place. You will be greatly missed.

You were the reason I decided to become an English teacher. You instilled a love of the written word in me, and I will be forever grateful. Thank you very much for the impact you had on my life.
