and surrounding him with love as he was called to Glory at Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C.

​

A Life of Love, Faith, and Family

William was born on March 3, 1942, in Bennettsville, South Carolina, to the late William I. Malloy and the

late Ruth Calhoun. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend whose presence brought strength, laughter, and comfort to all who knew him.

​

Throughout his childhood, William attended his family church, Hopewell Methodist. After relocating to Washington, D.C., in pursuit of a better life for his family, he spent many years attending Mount Paran Baptist Church alongside his wife and son.

​

William briefly attended South Carolina State University and ultimately dedicated 35 years of service to the United States Postal Service as a letter carrier in Washington, D.C. Through his work and the way he lived his life, William demonstrated the importance of hard work, integrity, and keeping one's word.

​

William lived a life centered on family, integrity, and quiet faith. He believed in working hard, honoring his commitments, and always making time for the people who mattered most.

​

As a grandfather, William was the steady center of the family—the person everyone could turn to for advice, reassurance, and unconditional love. His stories taught valuable lessons, his hugs made everyone feel safe,

and his calm presence made life's hardest days a little easier.

​

His greatest joy was his family. He celebrated every milestone, remembered every birthday, and made sure each of his grandchildren knew just how deeply they were loved.

​

William cherished family dinners, holiday traditions, working in the yard, playing solitaire on the computer, watching sports and Westerns on television, and sharing stories from years gone by. Through these simple pleasures, he created treasured memories that will live on in the hearts of those he loved.

​

He taught his family that love is best expressed through kindness, consistency, and the little things we do

for one another. His life was a testament to the power of showing up, standing by loved ones, and offering

love in both words and actions.

​

Left to cherish his memory are his beloved wife, Isabelle; his son, Eric (Colenthia); his grandsons, Brandon and Justin; his sister, Amber Malloy of Atlanta, Georgia; his sister-in-law, Ethel White of Bennettsville, South Carolina; his special nephew-in-law, Eric Easterling of Charlotte, North Carolina; and his special nieces-in-law, Melinda “Schanta” Quick and Cameika “Nikki” Gurley. He also leaves behind many extended family members and dear friends who will forever treasure his memory.

​

William was preceded in death by his beloved parents, William and Ruth Malloy.

​

William's family finds comfort in knowing that his love, wisdom, and example will remain with them always. Though his presence will be deeply missed, the memories he created, the lessons he taught, and the love he gave will continue to guide his family for generations to come.

​

His legacy lives on in the family he cherished, the lives he touched, and the countless moments of kindness

and love he shared.

William will be forever loved, deeply missed, and lovingly remembered.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” — Matthew 25:23
