Obituary of Catherine Eugenie Malarky

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Cathy Malarky of Rothesay, loving wife of Jim Malarky, on Thursday, October 7, 2010, at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born in Montréal, QC, she was the daughter of the late Augustus and Margaret (O’Brien) Dawe. Prior to her retirement, Cathy was employed with CMHC. She enjoyed craft night with her friends. Her love of all types of music grew from her years as a young piano student. Cate and Jim loved to travel and together shared many adventures. Most of all, Cathy loved her family, especially her precious grandchildren who will always remember their Nana as playful and loving. Cathy will be missed dearly by all who knew her. Besides her husband, Jim, Cate is also survived by two daughters, Susan Maloney (Michael) of Rothesay and Heather Potts (Craig) of Hammonds Plains, NS; one sister, Marilyn Little (Robert) of Châteauguay, QC; one brother, Harry Dawe of Pierrefonds, QC; four grandchildren, Brenna and Shaelyn Maloney, Grace and Callum Potts; special aunts, Clo O’Brien and Marg O’Brien of Cape Broyle, NL; several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by brother, Robert Dawe and sister-in-law, Dorothy Dawe. At the family’s request, there will be no visitation. A memorial service will be held at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Rothesay, on Sunday, October 10, 2010, at 1:00 PM, with a reception to follow.
