Dr. Rose Moriarity was a treasure and tour de force within Pittsburgh’s education community. Known for her fierce caring and concern for children’s education, Dr. Rose was the first African American female principal of an African centered school in the Pittsburgh school system, (Miller African-Centered Academy.) Because of Rose and her creative vision for improved education of black children, this endeavor was supported by PPS and became a reality in the Hill District community of Pittsburgh.
Rose was a wife, mother, grandmother, and friend of all who knew her. In 2016, Dr. Rose joined the Tabitha’s Daughters Fellowship in Pittsburgh, PA and became an instant loving presence and Elder of our sisterhood. Her courage and devotion to her family and community was experienced by those who loved her and watched her valiant fight against cancer, until she transitioned on May 12, 2022.
Tabitha’s Daughters dedicated the Dr. Rose Moriarty Courage Annual Scholarship through the Daniel’s Den Cancer Ministry. Roxanne Robinson, member of Tabitha’s Daughters and founder of Daniel’s Den collaborated with our fellowship to establish this annual offering to cancer survivors who will receive monetary support from our partnership.
Tabitha’s Daughters salutes you Dr. Rose Moriarity and may your love for community live on through us.
