Fanny Loretta Malm

Fanny Loretta Malm, 89, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Friday, January 24, 2025, at her home where her family had been caring for her. 

Fanny was born to Frank and Eithol Dwinell on January 14, 1936. She graduated from Carpenter high school. She married Howard “Gordon” Malm on January 16, 1954, and they returned to the family ranch where they spent their lives investing in their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, their church, their business (Malm Ranch Company) and their community. 

 Fanny spent her life serving the Lord, her husband and her family. She was rich in her faith, her family and her character. Her humble spirit gave her the strength to be a caregiver for her mother, her mother-in-law and later, for her husband, Gordon. She was slow to grumble, quick to smile and a wonderful hostess who was always prepared to serve a meal or provide a homemade treat whenever people stopped to visit or look at cattle. She filled her home and everything she did with kindness and the sweetest laugh. She will be dearly missed by her family and many friends.

 Fanny was preceded in death by her husband, Gordon, of almost 66 years; her parents, Frank and Eithol Dwinell, brother, “Frankie” Dwinell, and sisters, Alice Ward and Margaret Montgomery. She is survived by her children, Martha Ellis of Albin, WY, Howard (Dixie) of Albin, WY, Lynette (Kent) Hunter of Hawk Springs, WY, and Andy (Stacy) of LaGrange, WY; nine grandchildren, J.D. (Esther) Ellis, Lindsy (Michael) Booth, Timothy Malm, Bethany (Todd) Self, Cassady Malm, Jessica (Seth) Hills, Katelin (Avery) Jamerman, Karissa Malm (Ryan Fling), and Kaden Malm (fiancé Paige Miller); step-grandchildren, Quinn Hunter and Kylie Dealy; and nine great grandchildren, Tirzah and Caleb Ellis, Baylie, Brylie and Bryce Booth, Raelyn, Maverick and Maddilyn Self and Carson Jamerman. She is also survived by brother-in-laws, Earl Montgomery and Ken (Linda) Malm of Cheyenne, WY, and a multitude of nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews. 

A Celebration of Life service will be held on Friday, January 31, at the Albin Baptist Church at 1:30 PM with a dessert coffee to follow at the Albin Community Center.
