For
Elizabeth Moorman, graduating from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in May 2021 with a bachelor’s degree in biology is another step toward a hopeful future for her family, which tragically lost its patriarch four years ago. Making it even more special is that Moorman, of Thousand Oaks, California, took that step with her mother and brother, who are also earning their college degrees in spring 2021 from Moorpark College in California.
Elizabeth and her dad
Elizabeth is the daughter of fallen firefighter David Todd Moorman, a captain who devoted 28 years with the Los Angeles City Fire Department. She is the first on her father’s side of the family to attend and graduate from a four-year university, making her accomplishment even more meaningful.
