Kingsley M. Mooney, a former mortgage banker and marketing manager for a healthy eating website, died of stroke complications April 7 at University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville, where she was visiting her family. The Stevenson resident was 64.

Born in Baltimore, she was the daughter of Garland P. Moore Jr., an Equitable Trust Co. executive, and Kingsley Black Moore, a Garrison Forest School teacher.

Mrs. Mooney grew up on the family’s Dipping Pond Farm in Stevenson, where she tended livestock and gardened.

She was a graduate of the Calvert School and Garrison Forest School.

Mrs. Mooney graduated from Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts, where she was student government president. She was lacrosse team captain in her senior year and was a field hockey player. With other members of Wheaton’s 1981 team, she was inducted into the college’s Hall of Fame.

“Her lifelong passion for lacrosse led her to coaching her daughters’ teams as they grew to love the game,” said her husband, Thomas Joseph Mooney IV.

She went into marketing in Boston and Washington, D.C., and returned to Baltimore with the B.F. Saul Co.

“She walked into my office in 1988 and I knew I had to meet her,” her husband said. “By our second date, I told her I knew I wanted to marry her.”

The couple wed at the Church of the Redeemer in 1990. They settled in Govans and later moved to Riderwood, but eventually returned to Dipping Pond Farm.

Mrs. Mooney spent summers at Squam Lake in New Hampshire.

“She loved the natural beauty of New Hampshire, the serenity of the lake and mountains in the distance,” said her son, Thomas Joseph Mooney V. “But mostly she loved being with all of us.”

“Besides being a generous friend, she was organized and personable,” said a friend, Wendy Chapin Albert. “She was always ready to help — the task was never too small or too big. She had tons of energy and was never afraid to get her hands dirty. After moving back into her childhood home, she continued to maintain the gardens that are so important to her mom.”

Family members said Mrs. Mooney never gave up her interest in gardening. She made bouquets for her family and friends and shared vegetables she raised each season.

Mrs. Mooney worked alongside her brother and sister-in-law, Charles and Laura Moore, on the Dinnertime website, which offers tips on meal planning and grocery shopping. She wrote a weekly blog on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and nutritional diet.

She was a board member of the Orokawa Y in Towson, the Building for God Foundation and the Women’s Board of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, where a memorial fund has been established in her name.

“Kingsley loved giving back to her community,” her husband said.

A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. May 17 at the Church of Redeemer at 5603 N. Charles St.

Survivors include her husband of nearly 35 years, Thomas Joseph Mooney IV, a partner at O’Conor, Mooney and Fitzgerald Realtors; her mother, Kingsley Black Moore, of Stuart, Florida; two daughters, Kingsley Mooney Hoy, of Charleston, South Carolina, and Garland Mooney Walker, of Charlottesville, and a son, Thomas Joseph Mooney V, of Charleston; a brother, Charles Moore, of Florida; and three granddaughters.
