It was on this day in 1962 that Judith Mulligan Moore passed away. Judy was the oldest daughter of Walter and Margaret (Riley) Mulligan. She died at the age of 24 years, leaving her husband David and two daughters; 17 months old Susan and 1 month old Kathryn.

May Helen and Judy, and all the souls of the faithful departed, Rest In Peace.
