Edna May Malin

Edna May Malin, 83, of Hockessin, Delaware, passed away early Thursday morning, February 6, 2020.

She was born in Philadelphia to the late Clark and Edith Bostard. Her family moved to Compton, California, returned to Philadelphia, and settled in North Wildwood, NJ where she met her husband, Ellis Malin. She was a longtime resident of Hockessin where she happily raised her four children with her late husband.

Edna began her banking career at Delaware Trust Company; first as a teller and later as a loan officer, retiring in 1998. Edna’s second home remained North Wildwood, NJ where she and her family spent almost every weekend and summer vacations at the shore. Edna continued to enjoy time at their house on the bay with family and friends after her retirement. She took pleasure in cooking, reading, spending time with her grandchildren and cozying up with her cat, Moose. She will be missed by her family who will fondly recall her sweet laughter, welcoming nature and genuine interest in their life endeavors.

She is survived by her brothers and sisters-in-law James and Donna, Gregory and Angela; children: Roxy, James, Deborah, Denise wife of Curtis; and grandchildren, Kimberly, Kyle, Ryan, Janeen, Sara, Hannah, Emily, Ashley and Caitlin.
