Obituary:
HELEN BEATRICE MALARKEY
Longtime Staten Islander Helen B. Malarkey, 84, of Great Kills, a World War II Navy nurse who worked alongside her husband in his Great Kills practice, died Friday at home.
Born Helen B. Norkelunas in Montreal, Canada, she moved to Rochester, N.Y., with her family when she was 2 years old.
She earned a nursing degree from the University of Rochester, where she met her husband, Edward Malarkey, then a medical student.
When World War II began, Mrs. Malarkey was determined to join the fight, but was initially rejected from the U.S. military for having been born outside the country. Refusing to be denied, she made a personal appeal to the Secretary of the Navy, who acquiesced and gave her special dispensation. According to her family, Mrs. Malarkey became a Navy flight nurse, serving in the Pacific from 1943 until the war ended in 1945.
Upon her return home, she married Dr. Malarkey.
The couple moved to Westerleigh in 1946 and briefly lived in Prince's Bay before settling in Great Kills in 1955. There, Dr. Malarkey launched a thriving medical practice, with his wife working as a nurse by his side.
After 32 years of marriage, Dr. Malarkey died in 1977.
For the next 11 years, Mrs. Malarkey worked at what now is Eger Health Care and Rehabilitation Center, Egbertville. She retired in 1988.
Mrs. Malarkey was a parishioner of St. Clare's R.C. Church, Great Kills.
"She was really a remarkably thoughtful and generous friend," said her daughter, Margo Malarkey. "Her friends were just really touched by knowing her. She was also a fabulous mother, of course."
Mrs. Marlarkey was a member of the Women's Auxiliary of the Richmond County Medical Society.
In addition to her daughter, Margo, surviving are two more daughters, Barbara Malarkey and Elizabeth Josephson; her two sons, Peter E. and Robert J., and a grandson.
The funeral will be tomorrow from the Casey-McCallum-Rice South Shore Funeral Home, Great Kills, with a mass at 11 a.m. in St. Clare's Church. Burial will follow in Moravian Cemetery, New Dorp.

Notes:
Liz, Robert's sister said in an email, "Bob loved baseball and particularly the NY Yankees. He enjoyed sports, telling bad jokes and teasing his sisters. He played basketball in the driveway--sometimes during summer rainstorms (make that, downpours) which earned him the nickname, "The Monsoon" or "Monsoon Bob." He enjoyed beating me [Liz] at a game called "Acey--Duecey" which is similar to Back Gammon. he played video games. He impersonated televison celebrities. He blew into a conch seashell and could make it sing...a bit like a Norseman blowing a horn. This is how we always rang in the New Year. I miss him."
