GRACE MALLOY

Condolences & Memories (10 entries)

• Tynes family, THANK YOU! for the wonderful memory of my Mother taking me with her to the Penny Laundromat at Inkster and McPhillips. I use to go with her as a seven year old just for fun. We would meet people like your Mother Audrey who was a beautiful soul, and she also had a large family with lots of laundry to do. My Mother taught me how to do laundry during this time. Don't mix Red with whites. It was wonderful growing up in Shaughnessy heights with people like yourselves. I would also like to thank Joe Ulicki for coming up behind the mic during my Mothers service, and sharing his memories with us. Joe, when your Father passed away I was only 5 years old. I remember my parents going to his service. I remember asking my Mother about where is Mr. Ulicki now? It was at that point in my life I realized that we are only on this earth for a short time. Bob Vowel told me stories about how your parents home was at one time a farm house, and your parents use to have a garden located in the area where our house was eventually built. I'm proud that My Father was a pallbearer at your Mothers service. But now, it is the end of a era. My Mother had fond memories of the years she had raising our large family in our old neighborhood, and she carried these memories up until the very end. I hope we can all meet again sometime soon. Don't know when? But we'll meet again. Christopher Malloy. - Posted by: Christopher John Malloy (Son) on: Mar 28, 2018

• I read of Mrs. Malloy celebration of Life in the Calvary Temple Church Bulletin and felt the need to contribute to her life story. The Tynes family lived in the North end on Burrows and then Pritchard Ave. We knew the Malloy family and especially Mrs. Malloy. One of my fondest memories of her was her efficiency. She would go to Penny Bright Laundry first thing Saturday mornings and use all six washing machines to wash her clothes and than all six dryers. She had her laundry washed, dried, and folded within 90 minutes. It was a joy to sit and talk with her while she did her weekly laundry. She always made my brother Mark feel welcome in the home and when I was a social worker with Children’s Aid Society she always welcomed children in her home as a emergency placement. A wonderful women who contributed to her family, friend and community. - Posted by: Tynes Family (Neighbors ) on: Mar 21, 2018

• Our Deepest Sympathy to Graces Family. I met your mom at FDL where my mom Grace Resided. Grace was a wonderful kind lady. Always a smile for everyone and always stopped to see how mom was doing. She was so proud of her family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. - Posted by: Wendy Mestrovic (Friend (FDL)) on: Mar 20, 2018

• Our deepest condolences to the Malloy family, grandchildren and great-grandchildren on your loss. Our family lived on Pritchard Avenue and grew up with the Malloy family. My brother Bruce also expressed his sadness for your loss. The Malloy family is like his second family. So sorry I missed her service. Hold on to all the special memories. She was a special lady!

• Growing up I seem to recall a lot of kids dreading visits with their grandparents. They thought it was boring. They'd rather be playing street hockey or video games with the rest of the kids in the neighborhood. Although I enjoyed those things as much as the next person, this didn't apply to me. I always looked forward to visits with my Grandma Grace - in particular, trips with my Dad and Aunt Elaine to play Trivial Pursuit. I might add that Grandma beat the three of us a mere two months ago. She was fun, intelligent, and competitive to the very end. Despite having 26 grandchildren, she took a genuine interest in every single one of our lives. I think I speak for all of us when I say that we had a strong relationship with her. She knew all of our interests and what we were up to. Saying that family was important to her would be an understatement. It was her livelihood. It's hard to imagine a world without her. She was our matriarch; a presence at family gatherings that never went unnoticed. Her absence on the other hand certainly will. We're missing you already, Grandma, but I'm so thankful for the 22 years I was able to spend with you. "Till we meet again", your legacy lives on. Your loving grandson, Johnny - Posted by: Jonathan Malloy (Grandson) on: Mar 13, 2018

• Rest in peace dear Aunt Grace. My grandmother (Grace's mother) was from Scotland and as a child I believed we were related to the Queen of England. As I grew older I realized that was probably not the case yet in July of 1981 I had the privilege of watching the Royal Wedding of Princess Diana and Charles at my Grandma Graham's home with my grandma, my mom and Aunt Grace Malloy. What made this so special is that my Grandma and Mom lived in Michigan yet Aunt Grace lived in Canada and I in California. We woke up at 4:00 a.m. enjoyed tea, biscuits etc. and this will forever be my favorite memory of my Aunt Grace. I truly loved you and will carry you in my heart as long as I live.

• My condolences to the Malloy family. Mrs. Malloy was a special person. I am sure that she is smiling down on us. - Posted by: Haimchand Katwaroo (Friend of Chris) on: Mar 12, 2018

• My two older brothers and I grew up on Manitoba Avenue in the North End of Winnipeg. My oldest brother Ian was friends with Rocky Jr. and my brother Al was friends with David & Mark. And I was friends with Jimmy, Shelley, Elaine, and all the Malloy gang. Mrs. M. and Mr. M. treated us so well as kids and always opened their door to us with open arms. She will be fondly remembered and sadly missed. So, until we meet again at those pearly gates, may you rest in peace. - Posted by: Robert & Lyn Davidson (Neighbor & friend) on: Mar 11, 2018

• I will always remember Grace as a kind, strong and loving woman. She always greeted me at family functions as part of the family. I shall miss her wit and humour and intelligent conversation. I marvelled at the fact that at her advanced age she was not scared to take on technology and I always got a chuckle out of her Facebook posts. In the lost art of sending by post, she was always the first Christmas card to come in the mail ... God's speed, R.I.P.

• Fond memories of my childhood always include the Malloy's, never was their door locked and Mrs Malloy always welcomed any of us kids into her home. She encouraged all of us to play fun games and enjoy the joy of childhood. In the neighborhood we grew up in every parent treated you like their own, so if you did something wrong you were told but also if you did something good you were praised. Mrs Malloy was one of those moms who watched out for all of our safety, but also let us explore new adventures. I always loved her sense of humor and unique voice. Not that long ago I saw her and big hugs were shared. Rest in peace lovely lady! - Posted by: Linda (Chorney)McMurtry (Selkirk avenue neighbor ) on: Mar 10, 2018
