Michael Moynihan Obituary

He met his beloved wife, Anastasia Marie (Doherty) Moynihan in Boston, Massachusetts and married on September 27, 1953. They would have celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary this year.

Mike went on to serve 20 years in the USAF. During his military engagement the family moved many times, but the beauty of Colorado Springs brought them home after retirement in 1975. A Celebration of his life will be held at the Shrine of Remembrance "America the Beautiful" Chapel on Saturday, 10:00 a.m. A reception will follow at Georgetown Square Clubhouse (Academy and Constitution). Private burial Evergreen Cemetery. He will be sadly missed by all who loved him.
