Malachowksi, Marianne Patricia

Marianne is deeply mourned by her children Margaret, Nancy, Christine, and Michael Malachowski 

and his wife Connie Graham and her children and grandchildren. 

Our Mother Marianne will be best remembered for her generous, humble, and indomitable spirit having taken into her care her much 

younger half sister and raising four children on her own working as a nurse. Our home was a hub of social activity. 

Growing up, it was natural for neighbouring kids to gather and play at our place. Everyone loved Mom. 

The door was always open to friends, neighbors who would drop in, strangers too. All were welcomed with warmth and hospitality. 

There was always room at the supper table for an extra plate. 

When she retired as a nurse and moved to Picton it came as no surprise then that she chose to open her house as Marianne’s B&B, treating guests to elaborate hot breakfasts and sharing stories of Prince Edward County’s history and unique features. 

Marianne's generosity of heart was further reflected in her strong sense of community which drove her inexhaustible volunteerism. For example; she was past chair of the PEC Museums Board where she spear-headed one of its most notable fund raisers - The Antique Road Show; a Master Gardener and active member of the PEC Horticultural Society; an advocate and volunteer at PEC Hospice; member of Picton Hospital Auxiliary providing refreshments in the dialysis unit; delivered food for Meals on Wheels; greeted patrons at the door as volunteer with 

Friends of the Regent Theatre, to name but a few ways Marianne enjoyed connecting and sharing with others. 

Marianne enjoyed the lively fellowship at Emmanuel Baptist Church Bloomfield. Members may well remember Marianne as a permanent 

fixture in the kitchen, preparing and serving food for the many occasions, as well her time in the nursery. 

It was Marianne’s firm belief, one she instilled in us, “you can never outgive. It always comes back twofold, in abundance”. It was the secret of Marianne’s ability to do and give so much with so little. That conviction, born of her strong faith in a loving, forgiving, and generous God, carried her through life till the very end when her last words were, "It's time, I’m ready to go, thank you”.

Marianne was grateful for Donna and all the other PSWs whose care supported her in her last years to remain in the comfort of her home. 

We wish to express our heart of gratitude also for Homemaker Sabrina, for her sunny ways, clever meal ideas and willingness to pick up groceries. We commend the paramedics, physicians, and nurses at the Picton Hospital, including Dr. Elliot, Dr. Hayward-Stewart and Nurses Sydney, Megan, and Sierra for their excellent compassionate care. 

A Celebration of Life for Marianne will take place Sunday, March 29^th, 2026 from 1 -4 pm 
at the Waring House, located at 395 Sandy Hook Road, Picton.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Hospice Prince Edward or to Kate's Rest Foundation would be appreciated by the family.
