Kathleen Theresa Malloy, age 52, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 25, 2019, surrounded in love and prayer by her devoted family. 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.

Preceding her in death are her father, Patrick J. Malloy, Jr. of Levittown, eldest brother Patrick J. Malloy, III of Hoboken, NJ and younger sister, AnnaMarie Malloy of Levittown.
Family and friends are invited to call on Wednesday, July 10, 2019 from 8:00 until 10:00 am at St. Michael the Archangel Church, 66 Levittown Parkway, Levittown, where her Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 am.
