A proud retired school teacher, she spent over 30 years shaping young minds, encouraging curiosity, and inspiring countless students to believe in themselves. Her classroom was a place of warmth, patience, and possibility – reflecting the heart she carried into everything she did.

Her commitment to preserving traditions, fostering unity, and uplifting those around her touched many lives. She was known for her generosity, commitment to the community, and her ability to bring people together with grace and warmth.

She was a devoted mother, sister, and friend whose gentle wit, steady guidance, and open-hearted love will be forever remembered. Her legacy lives on in the people she taught, the community she supported, and the family she cherished.

She is survived by her husband, Cesar Malamug, her two children, Bernadette Malamug van Gessel (Duane van Gessel) of San Antonio, TX and Joseph Malamug of Greenville, SC, who will forever treasure her memory and honor her spirit.
