Carol Ann Malkus, loved hot rods

Carol Ann Malkus, 77, of Greenwood, passed away Friday, March 3, 2023, at her home. She was born April 4, 1945, in Baltimore, Md., daughter of the late Vincenzo and Leah (Fisher) DiGiacomo.

Carol was born and raised in Maryland; she was a 1963 graduate of Dundalk High School. Carol developed a deep and abiding love for cars and particularly hot rods. It was through this hobby that she met the true love of her life, John Malkus. They married Oct. 17, 1964, and then drove their ’64 GTO to the Great Smoky Mountains for their honeymoon. They spent the next 57 years together creating a beautiful life together and enjoying many adventures through traveling and their shared love of cars. 

Carol worked several years for Bethlehem Steel performing clerical duties. Following her time there, she was hired to be a manager for Automotive and Marine, where she worked for many years until her retirement. Following retirement, Carol and John briefly lived in Florida, before deciding to make their permanent home in Greenwood. More than anything, she treasured the time spent with those she held most dear. Carol was a loving and devoted wife, daughter, and friend. Loved by many, Carol will be forever missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her son, Vincent John Malkus. She is survived by her beloved husband, John A. Malkus; three brothers-in-law, Jack Malkus, Gary Malkus and Larry Malkus; and two sisters-in-law, Beverly Mattheu and Kathleen Hoeck.

Final care for Carol has been entrusted to Parsell Funeral Homes and Crematorium, Atkins-Lodge Chapel, Lewes.
