Moore-Mary Holt of Pearl River, NY, age 88. Predeceased by beloved husband Thomas A. Moore (FDNY Deputy Chief), mother of Tommy, Kevin (Kerri), Maureen (Roger) Slattery, Cathleen (Kevin) McNulty, Dermot (Joan), Patrick, Kerry Scriven and Eileen (Bobby) Fitzgerald. Adored grandmother of 21 and great-grandmother of Maureen, she died peacefully on July 13, 2016. Mary is also survived by her brother Frank Holt and sister Ann Reilly. Born in the Bronx, New York, Mary graduated Hunter College, where she founded its Gaelic Society. An unrepentant Irish Republican and devout Catholic, she dedicated her life to the cause of Irish freedom. She shared her love of Irish history and language as President of the Bronx Gaelic League and Council of Gaelic Societies. She was honored to be last elected Grand Marshal of the NYC Saint Patrick’s Day Parade. Mary served the Irish American Community in roles too numerous to list. We will never see her likes again.
