Christina Malloy Obituary
Tina graduated from Stamford High School in 1964. She attended Becker College in Worcester, MA, before graduating from Central Connecticut State University with a bachelor's degree in education. After college, Tina returned to Stamford as a business teacher at Westhill High School. Following the birth of her children, she worked at Olin Corporation for several years until going back to her true passion, teaching. Tina received her master's and 6th year degrees in education from Bridgeport University and continued to teach at Westhill High School until her retirement. Although known to be a disciplinarian at times, she was most passionate about her students' learning and well-being.
Having lived in Stamford all her life, Tina loved her city. When not at school she was often seen around town shopping at her favorite stores, having dinner at her favorite restaurants, or, in the summer, working on her tan at Cummings and West Beach.
She was known for her sense of humor and the ability to have fun, but more important to Tina than anything was the fierce love she had for her family. Tina was preceded in death by her high school sweetheart and beloved husband of 53 years, Brien Malloy, as well as her parents, brother, George Maintanis, and sister, Joan Philippopoulos. She is survived by their children Kelly Malloy of Stamford, CT, Brien Malloy (Christine) of North Bellmore, NY, and Steven Malloy (Amanda) of Scottsdale, AZ, and grandchildren Steven, Neala, Brien, Clare, Madeline and Egan.
Family will receive relatives and friends at the Nicholas F. Cognetta Funeral Home at 104 Myrtle Avenue, Stamford on Thursday, December 5th, from 4-8 p.m. A Trisagion Service will be held at 7 p.m. during the visitation. Funeral services will be celebrated on Friday, December 6th, at noon at The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, 1230 Newfield Avenue, Stamford. The interment will be private.

To Kelly, Brien, & Steven, I am sorry for your loss. I was a student of your Mom and she made a life-long impression on me. She was just a wonderful teacher and helped me to start my business career. I last saw her at the catalog dept of JCPenny at Stamford mall and she had some of her children with her. I told her how inspirational she was...the look on her face to the kids...was like "see, I do know what I´m doing!" It was priceless and I´ll always remember her.

I remember Mrs. Malloy fondly as she was my first cheerleading advisor at Westhill. She was an exemplary mentor on how to always do our very best; practice hard, inspire others, and develop school pride amongst a brand new high school- she taught us all to be ambassadors bringing out the best in everyone. She has been in my heart all these years. Lovingly,
