Edna Maleski (nee Lippert)

Edna Mae Lippert was the daughter of Adam Henry Lippert & Florence Mary Thompson from Ohio – the Lippert line runs back to the Masons on the maternal side going back to the Arbuckles of Nova Scotia – you know the one….Ole Willie who married Mary Vincent….

Anyways, Edna met a Pennsylvanian named Stanley Brian Maleski and by 1932, they were married in West Virginia; together they had 6 children.  They lost the first one in West Virginia; had 4 more back in Ohio; and the last one was born in California where they had settled.  They are both buried at the Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, CA.

The Desert Sun, 10 Aug 1976
Private services were held Monday for Edna Mae Maleski, 66, 169 Ocotillo Ave, Palm Springs, who died of leukemia Friday at the home of her daughter in Palos Verdes.  She worked in the restaurant business with her husband, Stanley, in the Pomona area for more than 20 years.  After moving to Palm Springs in 1968, Mrs Maleski became interested in consumer activism.  She frequently contributed to the "Letters to the Editor" section of The Desert Sun, especially concerning city spending.  She is survived by her widower, Stanley Maleski; her mother Florence Lippert; three sons, Stanley Maleski Jr of Lakeport, James Maleski of Palm Springs, and Steven Maleski of Upper Lake; five daughters, Barbara O'Reilly of Palos Verdes, Mary Spengler of Indian Harbor Beach, Fla, Joan Sanka, Teresa Maleski, and Kelly Maleski, all of Palm Springs, and nine grandchildren.  The family has requested donations to the Edna Maleski Foundation of Saint Mary's Medical Center in Long Beach in lieu of flowers.
