Edna Chrstine Malcik

Edna Christine Malcik,

Edna Christine Malcik, a cherished member of the Temple community, passed away peacefully at her home on Monday, October 6, 2025, at the age of 91, surrounded by her loving family. Edna was born on July 6, 1934, in Red Ranger, Texas, and she later graduated from Rogers High School, where her joyful spirit began to shine brightly.

Throughout her career, Edna held various positions, notably working as an inspector for a local hat company before dedicating herself to Southwestern Bell, which later acquired AT&T. She served with distinction until her retirement in 1992. Edna’s commitment to her work was as strong as her commitment to her family, showcasing her work ethic and determination.

Edna was known for her "Happy Go Lucky" personality, and she approached life with a vibrant enthusiasm that was infectious. She found extraordinary joy in the company of her friends and family, having moved in next door to the love of her life, Frank Ignac Malcik, whom she married in 1952. Together, they began their family and welcomed their son, Randall, in 1962.

Her love for animals was well-known, as she and Frank raised Chinese Pugs and had many pets throughout their lifetime, each bringing unique joy and companionship. Edna also had a passion for dancing, often sharing this enjoyment with those around her, further reflecting her love for entertainment and family bonding.

She is survived by her son, Randall Malcik; two brothers, Reuben Marek and wife Mary Ann, and Alvin Marek; and one grandson, Justin Malcik. Edna will be remembered for the warmth she brought to those lucky enough to know her, the laughter she shared, and the love she expressed for her family.

She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Frank Ignac Malcik; her parents Rudolph and Justine Jezek Marek; and one brother, Rudolph Marek Jr.
