Dorothy Urdanick Malchak of Endwell

Dorothy Urdanick Malchak, 96, fell asleep in the Lord Wednesday morning, February 7, 2024. She is predeceased by her loving husband of 49 years, Andrew Malchak; and her parents William and Anne Urdanick. She is survived by her only and loving son, David Malchak and his devoted wife Kathleen, Endwell; three adoring grandchildren, Hayley Ann Malchak, Endwell; Amy Kathleen Malchak, Endwell; David Andrew Malchak and his fiancee, Marianna, Raleigh, NC.; a sister, Lillian Kirkham, Saratoga, CA.; a brother and sister-in-law, William and Mildred Urdanick, Myrtle Beach, SC; and several cousins, nieces and nephews. 

Duff, as she was known to those close to her, was a loving mother and grandmother. She appreciated flower gardens and classical music. Dorothy had a thoughtful and generous soul, which comprised the same beauty and grace that defined her every essence. She was a member of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary Orthodox Church, Binghamton. She enjoyed parish life and fellowship volunteering in rummage and food sales. She was a proud former employee of the IBM corporation, Endicott.

The family will be eternally grateful to Nancy, Barb, Yvonne, Rhonda and Terry who most recently served Dorothy in her daily needs; Lourdes Hospice; Palliative Care and Dr. James Holler, all of whom were compassionate and entrusted to her care.

Funeral services will be held Monday 11 a.m. at the Chopyak-Scheider Funeral Home, 326 Prospect St., Binghamton with Very Rev. Andreja Damjanovski officiating where the family will receive friends 10-11am.  Entombment will be at Riverhurst Cemetery. Contributions in Dorothy’s memory may be made to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospice, 4102 Old Vestal Ave. Vestal, NY 13850.
