A member of Bannside Presbyterian Church, Mrs Malcolmson was employed in Down Shoes before leaving to bring up her family. She was the wife of the late Joseph Malcolmson who was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident 42 years ago.

Mrs Malcolmson's hobbies included country and western music and her garden, but her main interest always centred around her home and family.
