Sylvia Malish Obituary

Sylvia Kay Malish

Sylvia Kay (Day) Malish's life mission of loving, caring and giving was known by all. We continue to celebrate her and her mission after her passing on June 14, 2024, at the age of 86.

Kay is survived by her three married children, Eddie and Barbara (Anz) Malish, Robert and Marsha (Malish) Jones, all of Austin and Bobby and Michelle (Washer) Malish of Coppell, Texas. She is also survived by her sister, Claudia Burgoon of Jarrell, Texas. She also greatly loved and doted over her three grandchildren and their significant others: Mark Malish (with JD Dauber), Emily Malish (Cody Jones, fiancé) and Jacqueline Malish (with Morgan Bromley). She also loved and cherished the nieces, nephews and cousins within her extended family. Her voice of comfort, caring and love and compassionate heart will be greatly missed.
