Amalia Judiscak loved life, and everyone loved Mali. She touched people’s lives wherever she went and whatever she did. It sounds cliche, but she was a shooting star – brilliantly lighting her path in an all too short life. She was taken from us far too soon in our understanding, but at the perfect time in God’s loving plan. We already miss her so much and can’t imagine life without her.
Mali was born in Tucson, Arizona just 17 short years ago. Mali loved animals, particularly her dog, Elliot (and everyone else’s dogs too). Mali was a natural athlete, being the youngest of 5 children, with three older brothers, Ray, Elijah and Dom, and one older sister, Chelsea. Mali loved to sing, even though she could not carry a tune, and Mali danced like no one was watching. Mali was smart and confident and beautiful. Mali had a style all her own. Mali loved to greet patrons of Ace Hardware, where she worked part-time as a cashier, and loved to photobomb every picture she could. Mali was strong, but had a tender heart, and displayed genuine love and care – but Mali also called it like she saw it.
Mali is survived by her sister and brothers, her parents, Dot and Kevin Judiscak, her aunts and uncles, Carol and Mark, and Sally and Jim, and her grandmother, Katherine “Nina” Mitchell, her half-sister, Staci Loucheim – and also by the many she encountered before leaving us. We love you Mali. We still expect for you to walk through the door, but instead will have to wait until we come to you.
A Gathering will be held on Monday, May 22, 2023 at 4:00PM with Funeral Service to begin at 6PM at Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home, 4800 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix. Condolences may be expressed at www.whitneymurphyfuneralhome.com

Amalia visited our home several times with friends. We only knew her for a short time, but thought she was a beautiful, sweet and sensitive young lady. We send warmest sympathy and prayers to your family. With the passage of time, may you somehow find peace in knowing that Mali now sings (in tune), photo bombs and dances with the angels.
Be Blessed,

I am so very sorry for your loss. I am on staff at Amalia’s high school but also a member of the community and Amalia was always there to help at ACE hardware when I would stop in to get items. She had the most beautiful smile and warm personality and she just helped me a few weeks ago with an exchange and was excited to call out to me the next day at school. 🙂
There are no words to say as I know your hearts are heavy. Love, light, peace, and healing to all of you.
