Born November 25, 1933 in Whitinsville, Mrs. Malley lived in Douglas until moving to Northbridge when in the 11th grade and graduated from Northbridge High School. She moved to Grafton in 2015.  Growing up she worked alongside her father at Sullivan's Diner, which he owned.  After staying home and raising her children, she worked at Polyclad in Millbury as a circuit board inspector  for 20 years before retiring.  She enjoyed knitting and baking, was an a loyal  Bruins fan, but her true love was the Boston Red Sox.  Her family was the center of her life and she  truly loved being  with them; she loved them all, including the family pets.   She was blessed with the "gift of gab" and  loved talking with anyone she met.   She enjoyed going out to eat,  especially for  fish and chips.  Mrs. Malley was a long time member of Saint Patrick's Church.

Mrs. Malley's Funeral Mass will be held at 11AM, Tuesday, January 28, in Saint Patrick's Church, Cross St., Whitinsville.  Burial will be in Saint Patrick's Cemetery.  Calling Hours will be 5-7PM, Monday, January 27, in the Carr Funeral Home, 24 Hill St., Whitinsville.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to either the American Heart Association, or to the American Kidney Foundation.
