Frances Ann Malick and Randy Howard Malick, of Charles Town, tragically passed away together Friday, August 2, 2024, while en route to their beloved homestead in Cass.
Randy, born May 15, 1966, in Fairfax, Virginia, was the son of the late Ralph and Phyllis Malick.
Fran was born July 14, 1967, in Bethesda, Maryland, and was a daughter of the late Glenn and Neal Gilkey.
Together for more than 20 years, Randy and Fran proudly owned and operated Tradewinds Floors, Inc. in downtown Charles Town. When not working, which was not often, Randy had a deep passion for music, steam trains, history and tinkering, while Fran found joy in reading, relaxing by the creek, gardening and spending time with her grandchildren.
They were preceded in death by a sister, Susan Gilkey; and brother, Michael Malick.
They are survived by their son, Douglas Malick, of Middletown, Virginia; daughter, Cindy Maher, and husband, Sean, of Clayton, North Carolina; grandchildren, Christian, Jackson and Alisha; siblings: Brenda Hall, of Manassas, Virginia, Evelyn Roeder, and husband, Jack, of Tallahassee, Florida, Christine Delaney, of Laurel, Maryland, and Eugene Gilkey, and wife, Jennifer, of Fairfax, Virginia; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
In addition to family, Randy and Fran had a deep connection to the community and never seemed to be strangers to anyone.
Family and friends are invited to visit from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m., Friday, August 9, 2024, at Jefferson Chapel, 114 North Mildred Street in Ranson. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, August 10, 2024, coinciding with what would have been their 39th wedding anniversary. Interment will be private.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Friends of Cass.
