Catherine Maruschak Malley

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MICH. - Catherine Maruschak Malley, 84, longtime resident of the Youngstown area, passed into Eternal Life on Monday, April 26, 2021, at her home in Michigan.

Catherine was born Feb. 22, 1937, in Youngstown, and was the youngest child of John and Anna Paruch Maruschak. She was raised in Youngstown and lived in this area until moving to Parma in 1997, later moving to Michigan in 2015.

She was a 1954 graduate of Chaney High School and then earned a Registered Nurse Diploma from St. Elizabeth School of Nursing in 1957. Catherine proudly worked in the nursing field for over 50 years.

Her greatest joys were her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and photography.
