Dr. Caroline Marianne Coffey, Ph.D., of Ithaca, N.Y., formerly of Clarks Green, died Tuesday.
Born June 20, 1980, in Dublin, Ireland, daughter of Michael and Patricia Malley Coffey of Clarks Green, she attended Our Lady of Peace School and was a graduate of Scranton Preparatory School and the University of Scranton, where she received a degree in biology.
