Marianna Teresa Malinowska (nee Oldakowska), age 81, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on Monday, October 1, 2023.
Born in Ostrow Maz, Poland, to Pawel and Anna Oldakowscy, she resided in both Poland and the US, rotating every few months between them. Before retiring, Mrs. Malinowska worked as an accountant in Poland for many years.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 56 years, Stanislaw Jerzy Malinowski; one son, Andrew Malinowski (Hanna); one daughter, Anna Maslak (Robert); three grandchildren, Agatha, Patrick, and Olivia; two sisters, Jadwiga Sienkiewicz and Elzbieta Oldakowska.
Teresa (as friends would call her) was a ferocious reader, gifted cook, and baker. She loved puzzles, Sudoku, and weekend Bridge games, but above all, she dedicated her life to nurturing and uplifting those around her. Her home was a haven of warmth and laughter, where she selflessly prioritized the needs and happiness of her family. Her marriage, a source of strength and companionship, was a living example of the power of selfless love.
As we bid farewell to Mrs. Malinowska, let us carry forward the torch of her generous spirit. In doing so, we honor her memory and the enduring lesson that true fulfillment is found in the service of others. May her soul find eternal peace, and may her legacy inspire acts of kindness and love in the hearts of all who knew her.
Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend the Visitation on Thursday, October 5, 2023, from 4–6 PM at the Parkway Wozniak Memorial Home, 211 Westfield Ave. Clark, NJ 07066. A Prayer Service will be offered at 5 PM during the visiting hours. Cremation Services are Private. An Interment of Ashes will take place at a later date, Our Lady Of Czestchowa Cemetery, Doylestown, PA. In lieu of flowers, kindly offer donations, in Teresa's name, to the charity of your choice.
