Marsha Malkiewicz Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Thompson Funeral Homes - Columbia on Mar. 12, 2026.
Marsha Dawn Miller Malkiewicz, 68, died March 8, 2026. Born September 19, 1957, in Madison, West Virginia. She was the former wife of her ex-husband, the late David "Polock" Lenn Malkiewicz and was also predeceased by her parents, Connie J. Miller and Roy E. Miller, in addition to her only two late beautiful children, Joshua DEE Malkiewicz and Heather Dawn Malkiewicz and her young siblings, Peggy Mallet and Barry Molar. She is survived by her 2 sole grandchildren, Brennan Zane Freeman and Franklin Cash Freeman, along with her very close niece, Stephanie Davis, as well as her two younger sisters, Valerie "Janie" Buffington and Jennifer Miller and other few extended family members and many friends.

Marsha loved to help and care for others when in need. She worked as an RN at Providence, Richland, and Baptist Prisma Health Hospital for over 30 years. She was the kindest person you could ever meet. She loved to watch the Braves, chill on the porch, take great care of her mom, and spend time with her cats. Marsha also loved to cook with her two grandchildren, making the best chicken and dumplings and collard greens and inviting everyone over to have fun and enjoy themselves in unity.

Marsha was a very misunderstood woman who struggled with much in her life, but even then she has always had the purest respect and heart of gold towards everyone she was around with and cared deeply for all, with not one mean bone in her body. We will miss her wonderful soul and legacy in life so dearly forever, as she joins the All Mighty himself into the heavens above to rest in eternal peace and join her family.

I was very saddened to hear about Marsha's passing. She was a dear friend of mine for over 40 years. Even though she experienced a lot of tragedies and sadness in her later years, she fought hard to endure. She was a smart and caring nurse as well as a good friend. I will miss her and always keep her in my heart. God bless her family. I will keep them in my prayers.
