Karen Sue Malloy

Karen Sue Malloy, lovingly known by her friends and family as Sue, a beacon of gentle warmth and unwavering friendliness, passed away peacefully on April 10, 2024, at her home in Alamosa, Colorado.

Born on January 1, 1948, in Great Bend, Kansas, Sue’s life was a testament to her nurturing spirit and her enduring commitment to her family and faith.

After graduating from high school in Junction City, Kansas, in 1966, Sue pursued her passion for helping others by earning her nursing degree. Her career as a nurse was marked by the same kindness and care she bestowed upon her loved ones.

Her compassionate nature found another avenue for expression through her devotion to her faith; Sue was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses on April 24, 1971. She found great joy and fulfillment in studying the Bible and sharing its hopeful messages with her community.

Sue’s love for her family was the cornerstone of her life. She is survived by her children, Patrick and his wife Michelle Malloy of Pueblo, Colo.; Andrew Malloy of Lakewood, Colo.; and Molly and her husband Keith Curley of Monte Vista, Colo. Her grandchildren, Jace Olan, Kai Olan, Emma, Daphne Curley, and Jaxon Curley, were the apples of her eye, and she cherished every moment spent with them.

Sue also leaves behind her siblings, Shirley Green of Fort Worth, Texas, and Larry Teghtmeyer of Muncie, Indiana, who will miss her deeply.

Beyond her professional and spiritual achievements, Sue had a passion for the simple pleasures in life. She was an avid cook, whose recipes and meals brought comfort and joy to family and social gatherings. Her flower garden was a vibrant tapestry of colors that reflected the beauty she saw in the world. Additionally, Sue’s skillful hands crocheted many blankets over the years, each stitch a symbol of her love and care, which will continue to provide warmth and comfort to those she held dear.

Sue’s grandchildren will remember her as the grandmother who adored them, always ready with a hug, a kind word, and an open heart. Her children will recall her as the rock of the family, the one who could always be counted on for support, wisdom, and a listening ear. Her siblings will reminisce about the countless memories they shared, each one etched with Sue’s friendly smile and gentle nature.

As we bid farewell to Sue, we are reminded of the impact one life can have on so many. She was a woman who lived her values, who loved without reservation, and whose legacy of kindness will continue to inspire all who knew her. Sue’s life was a journey of love, service, and faith—a journey that touched the hearts of everyone along her path.

Cremation was chosen and private services will be held.
