Prior to her retirement, Mrs. Malloy was employed as a reading specialist for the Camden City Board of Education for many years. She was a wonderful cook, especially around the holidays when she baked her sweet potato pies. She loved going to the shore and walking the boardwalk. Mrs. Malloy played a great game of solitaire and she was an avid crossword puzzle solver and word search person.

We were so blessed to have her as our mother and the wife of our father. Her entire life was based around the strong love she had for her family. Everyone who came in contact with her over her lifetime said that she was one of the kindest, caring and loving people that they were privileged to know.
