Wonderful memories of a woman whose life was graced with generosity and hospitality. She blessed our family beyond words. Kindness was the center of her heart towards others and family.
Aunt Malinda was a wonderful, loving and generous lady. She was always so welcoming to all of her WI family. She was an amazing Aunt to all of us. My memories of Aunt Malinda will always be one of love and admiration.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Sending hugs and love.
Love,
Mark & Karen Uhrman
I have so many fond memories of West Virginia and my Aunt Malinda. She was a wonderful Aunt! She had the biggest heart, always putting other people before herself. She was an amazing cook and would cook non stop when we were there. Just when we thought we couldn't eat anymore, out came more food. She always made our time with her special. We will be praying for her and all of the family.

My condolences to the family. I'm a friend of Cheryl's and the Milwaukee Streets family since 2004. Cheryl and I were just thinking about her aunt Malinda on Saturday last. We were discussing how much Cheryl wanted to see her for the past several years but couldn't do it. I know you'll all miss her terribly. I pray that God blesses you all and gives you a rapid healing.
Aunt Malinda,
My Daddy's Older Sister, Went Home To Be With The Lord On Wens. and Met Jesus & Daddy At The Gates Of Heaven…All Were Smiling, As She Entered There!
