Vivian Malczyk Obituary
She was born Aug. 8, 1934, in Forty Fort, the daughter of Walter and Margaret Scott and the sister of Shirley Scott Parmelee. She had been married to Joseph P. Malczyk, originally of Nanticoke, who preceded her in death.
She is survived by her nephews, Mark and David Parmelee, both of Shavertown, and their spouses, Annette and Toni Jo; great-nephews, Benjamin and Michael Parmelee; great-nieces, Andrea Parmelee, and Susanna Parmelee Finn and her spouse, Daniel; and five-month-old great-great-niece, Maeve Finn, whom she was able to meet, and whose pictures gave her great joy in recent days.
She was a graduate of Forty Fort High School and earned a teaching degree from Bloomsburg University. She taught in District of Columbia and Maryland schools at many grade levels, earning a reputation for her ability to befriend her students while running a classroom well, and accompanying classes on trips to England and Europe. She served as a substitute teacher from years after retirement.
Vivian was active in Southern Maryland community affairs, serving many terms on the board of the Children's Aid Society of Charles County. She helped initiate the effort to restore the 1819 Port Tobacco Courthouse.
Vivian loved her dogs and was loyal to the Washington Redskins. She once danced with Sonny Jurgensen.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Friday at Hugh B. Hughes & Son Inc. Funeral Home, 1044 Wyoming Ave., Forty Fort, with the Rev. Dr. Michael Stine of Forty Fort United Methodist Church officiating.
Family and friends are asked to call from 10 a.m. until service time at the funeral home.

Merry Christmas, Aunt Vivian.

Ms. Malczyk was my 6th grade homeroom teacher. I absolutely loved her as a teacher. She encouraged my love of reading and often would suggest books for me to read during DEAR (drop everything and read) time. She promoted our creativity through assignments she gave and we were often able to use various means of presenting materials. As an educator, I recognize the value what she gave me. I wish I had known of her passing as I would have attended and shown my respects. Rest in Peace Ms. Malczyk!

I had Mrs. MALCZYK as my sixth-grade teacher in 1975/76. She was absolutely wonderful, and had a great sense of humor. What I remembered most about her is that she genuinely cared about her students. She wanted each and every one of us to succeed. I hope she knew how she enriched the lives of so many students. She will always be remembered fondly and respectfully.

I was a student of Ms. Malczyk at Leckie Elementary in DC. I too am saddened by the learning of her passing. She had a tremendous impact on me. I respected her. May she rest in peace.

Mrs. Malczyk was my third grade teacher at Kechum Elementary School in Anacostia. in 1958. I was never interested in learning until I had her as a teacher. She made me feel special and loved. I have thought of her over the years. This morning I decided I would try to find her. I am filled with much sadness to know that she is gone. Oddly enough, I live a short distance from where she did in Southern Maryland. Wish I had pursued this sooner.
My heart felt condolences to the family.
Most Sincerely,
Lorraine Mitchell Birkett
