Patsy Malley Obituary

Patsy Malley, 84, of North Huntingdon, passed away on Aug. 15, 2025, at Golden Heights Care Home. She was born on Oct. 2, 1940, in Fordyce, Arkansas, a daughter of the late Claude Ratliff and Arrie Courtney Ratliff. She was a member of Grace Baptist Church in Greensburg. In her free time, Patsy enjoyed gardening, and she liked to keep a watchful eye on her social media accounts. Most of all, Patsy cherished the time spent with her family. In addition to her parents, Patsy was preceded in death by her husband, John Malley, in July 2025; six brothers, Alan, Russell, Troy, L.B., Herbert, and Milford; and four sisters, Darlene, Frances, Carolyn, and Marcelle. She is survived by three sons, John Malley (wife, Mary), Jeffrey Malley (wife, Pam), and Jason Malley; one daughter, Lisa Patella (husband, John); one sister, Dorothy; grandchildren, Morgan, Merric, Jeff Jr., Justin, Jessica, Anthony, and Nicholas; and four great-grandchildren, Santino, Luca, Gia, and Roman. Visitation will be private. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be given, in Patsy's name, to the American Cancer Society. JAMES W.
