Nita Anton Malaj

Nita Anton Malaj passed away far too soon at the age of 35. She is survived by her loving father, Anton, her mother Hana Malaj, and her step-siblings Brigel, Bruno, and Brisilda. With broken hearts, we mourn the loss of our beloved Nita, the firstborn who forever changed our lives. Nita's kindness, warmth, and infectious smile touched the hearts of so many, bringing joy and laughter that words can barely express. As Hana’s cherished daughter and the precious granddaughter of Aga and Shtjefen Dedvukaj (deceased), Nita held a special place in the hearts of her family. Gifted with an extraordinary ability to express herself through writing, Nita’s words carried deep meaning and reflection. Her passion for life, boundless spirit, and genuine love for those around her left a lasting impact. She embraced life fully, and even in moments of silence, her presence was always felt. "The family we are a strange little band of characters trudging thru life sharing diseases and toothpastes, coveting one another’s desserts, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all TOGETHER" "To be young again, I’d go back and give you the Nita you all deserved…" (Credit: Nita Malaj) Though her time with us was far too brief, Nita’s memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. We will remember her radiant smile and the joy she brought into our lives. Nita, you will be deeply missed, but we are forever grateful for the gift of your presence in our lives. Rest in peace, dear Nita, knowing that your light will continue to shine in our hearts, even in our sorrow.
