Mary Malmstrom

Mary Malmstrom, age 75, passed away at her home in Lone Star. Mary was born August 9th, 1947 to Margaret and Norman McDonald in Billings, Montana. She grew up in Boyd, Montana and graduated from Joliet High School. After having children, Mary went back to school and graduated with an accounting degree from Eastern Montana College. Her accounting career took her from Billings to Denver, CO, Wichita, KS, and finally Lone Star, TX at US Steel. Even though her family is all in Montana, she enjoyed Lone Star so much that when she retired she decided to stay. Mary was a private person who enjoyed gardening, baking, and reading. While still in Billings she was an avid and accomplished trap shooter, winning the Montana state women’s championship. She is survived by two sons, Jim (Lori) Malmstrom and Ross (Jennie) Malmstrom and four grandchildren, Alex, Maddie, Megan, and Ethan Malmstrom. She is also survived by three brothers, Stu (Terry) McDonald, Bill (Karen) McDonald, and Don McDonald. She was formerly married to Tom Malmstrom and Frank Goddard, both deceased. She is preceded in death by her parents and one daughter, Wendy, who died at birth. Honoring her requests, cremation arrangements are under the direction of Horn-Nail-Haggard Funeral Home of Daingerfield. A memorial service will be held later in Montana.
