Peter D. Victor Moriarty
February 8, 2025
It is with the greatest sorrow that we announce the passing of Peter D. Victor Moriarty (75) on Saturday, February 8, 2025. The son of Rev E. Victor Moriarty and Jean (Murray) Moriarty, Peter was born in Plaster Rock NB and lived in North Sydney, NS and Montréal, QC before settling in Halifax where he met the love of his life, Alice (Strugnell) Moriarty, one snowy night at a United Church youth retreat. After working to support each other through university and the early years of their careers, they welcomed their daughter Megan, also of Halifax.
A passionate teacher in all aspects of his life, Peter spent his career teaching hundreds of grade 5 and 6 students at Central Spryfield Elementary, Clayton Park Jr High, Rockingstone Heights School and Burton Ettinger Elementary. He especially loved encouraging literacy by reading to his students and working to promote cultural diversity and human rights.
After retiring in 2006, he shifted his focus to his other passion: travel and exploration. Notable trips included his cross-Canada motorhome adventure with wife, Alice. He was particularly excited to see the Midnight Sun and stand by the “marge of Lake Lebarge”, recreating his favourite poem by Robert Service. He also loved taking shorter trips to attend concerts by his favourite musicians and having two opportunities to tour Europe with family and friends. More recently, as life began to slow down, he found joy in caring selflessly for Alice, encouraging Megan in her own teaching adventures, photography, trips to the family cottage in Oak Point, NB and any chance to explore locally on one of his many Sunday drives.
Peter is survived by sisters Margaret (Paul) Bowen, Carolyn (Jim) Gerrish; brothers Alan (Susan) and David (Elizabeth); wife, Alice and daughter, Megan, as well as many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Jean and Vic.
Megan and Alice would like to express our gratitude to the nursing staff of the Halifax Infirmary ICU and to the many family and friends who have offered so much support and compassion in our sudden grief.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Stephen Lewis Foundation, The Brunswick St Mission or The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
