Edna Mae Maleski

Edna Mae Maleski, 98, of Washington, passed away peacefully on November 10, 2026, with her family by her side at Southmont of Presbyterian Senior Care Facility.

She was born on May 24, 1928, in Washington, and was the daughter of late William R. Murray and Anna May Burton of Washington. Growing up in the “Goat Hill” area of Washington, Edna attended the Trinity Area School District. She left high school early to assist her family who were recovering from The Great Depression.

Edna married the late Walter Maleski Sr. of Washington and had five beautiful children.

Since 1956, Edna and Walter raised their family in the Canton Township area of Washington.

After raising her children, Edna pursued employment at the Interstate Motel and the Holiday Inn, Meadowlands as a housekeeping attendant. She retired at 72 years young.

Her and her best friend Marty found joy playing Bingo. What started as a Saturday night thing quickly turned into 2-3 nights a week. Not only did this provide a well-deserved social outing, but it also provided an extra income. She was pretty lucky! Edna always enjoyed small dogs and always had one scurrying around her feet. For the past ten years her most precious Tiki was her life. A small Yorky that loved Edna, and the feeling was mutual! These two were inseparable. Edna’s love and warmth was felt by many that truly knew her and she will be sincerely missed by those lives she touched.

In addition to Edna’s husband, the late Walter Maleski Sr., she was preceded in death by daughter, Debbie Maleski and several brothers and sisters.

Surviving are her children Walter Maleski Jr. of Washington, David Maleski (Carla) of Washington, Joseph Maleski (Roberta) of Washington, and Brian Maleski (Kimberly) of Centreville MD; six grandchildren, Jason Cossu, Nicole Robinson, Sarah Maleski, Christopher Maleski, Sean Maleski, Brian Maleski; six great grandchildren, Cassidy and Jason Jr. Cossu, Logan and Hayden and Owen Robinson, Maxwell Maleski.

Family and friends will be received on Sunday, November 15, 2026 from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. in the William G. Neal Funeral Homes, Ltd., 925 Allison Avenue, Washington. A prayer service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, November 16, 2026 in the funeral home with Pastor Tom McKee officiating. Entombment will follow in the Washington Cemetery.
