Obituary of Linda Malinchak

Linda Malinchak (nee Lenoy), 70, life-long resident of Paterson, NJ entered eternal life on April 16, 2020. Linda was born in Paterson on April 14, 1950. Linda loved her family above everything and was also a huge lover of animals, especially her favorite "grandpuppy", Lucky and her departed beloved cats, Mickey and Tuffy. Linda was actively involved in her daughter’s life and past president of the PTA at P.S. #7 in Paterson. Linda loved planning special outings with family at High SocieTea House. Linda also enjoyed taking trips to Atlantic City and more recently to Resorts World in New York. Last year, she was able to take the trip of a lifetime to visit Disney World, Universal and Kennedy Space Center to see the rocket her father had a part in building many years ago. She was very proud of her family and loved to share stories about her grandchildren and her daughter and son in law.

Leaving behind to cherish her memories are the love of her life to whom she has been married for 51 years, David Malinchak, her daughter Tricia Tennaro and her husband Michael, and her adored grandchildren, Marissa Lynn Tennaro and Michael Tennaro III. Linda was predeceased by her parents, the late Charles and Pearl (Biggs) Lenoy, her sister Patricia Kievit and her husband Charles and her brothers Charles and James Lenoy. She is survived by her sisters in law and brother in law and many beloved nieces and nephews, cousins and many friends who are considered family. 

Due to the restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic, a celebration of life will be held at a later date to be announced.
