I didn’t want to find what I was went searching for…
I had been missing Malora’s FB comebacks to my posts. I messaged her. No response. Finally, I left a message at her phone number. Still no response. I was almost too afraid to look, but I did…
Malora and I worked together in the Office of the Dean, UR School of Medicine and Dentistry. Always pretty, always pleasant, always capable.
A wacky thing that I remember from back then… I had just popped corn for lunch when Malora almost frantically urged me to quickly open the pouch to keep the corn from becoming “chewy”! I have not had popcorn since that day without thinking of her.
We had lunch for my birthday and made plans to get together again soon. Well, Mellie March, I guess there’s been a change of setting and/or venue.
My sincerest condolences to Malora’s children, grandchildren, all of her family and everyone who loved her. I truly pray that God’s mercy will buoy you through this time.
I was very sorry to hear of Malora’s passing. What a shock, especially after seeing her in early September when she attended a celebratory conference at the University of Rochester. Malora was a wonderful administrator in the Department of Biostatistics at UR She seemed to always have things under control, in a calm manner. On a few occasions I asked her to help me with something, and her knowledge and help were on target and much appreciated. My condolences to Malora’s family and close friends. May happiness return to you after this very sad event.
So sorry to hear of Maloras passing. Was just thinking of her the other day! We had not been in touch the last few years~ life got in the way.
I did my internship with her at Unity Hospital back in Think it was 2004? What a wonderfully kind person ! Sorry now that I didn’t reach out to her earlier!
Both my husband and myself have worked together with Malora at University of Rochester for several years and we were happy to catch up with her at David Oakes’ conference in September. Malora was the kindest colleague to work with. She is always friendly, caring and supportive. I feel so sorry for the loss of her. Sending sincere condolences to her family.
Our paths crossed about a year ago when she was celebrating her 75th birthday at a local restaurant. She introduced herelf as Mellie. We talked in the foyer & discovered we were both Nazareth grads from ’67 & ’68 then talked more about common friends from school. When someone called her Malora I took a step back & asked if she ever worked at GEM’S on Mt Read Blvd. She replied OMG Yes!! We were both in shock. I remembered that she worked at the front door & ‘buzzed customers in’ as they showed their membership cards. I worked in the drug department and told her how jealous I was of her long straight hair!! She said it was her best birthday surprise ever. Then WE laughed & hugged & became FB friends. Thanks for this warm wonderful memory Malora with the beautiful hair. RIP XO
So very shocked a saddened by the loss of a lifelong friend. From teenage shenanigans to our adult lunches with our high school classmates that always left us with smiles.
I will miss you! Your Dad,Mom and Al greeted you with open arms.
Rest in eternal peace.
Love,
Jean
My dear friend since we were 14 meeting at the bus stop on our way to HS. I miss our weekly phone calls already. We shared our pain, our laughs, our secrets. My heart is broken. There is no one who will ever fill your shoes. I’m sorry you suffered but peace is forever now. I love you. Sandi
