So, who are they? Scroll down, to find out.

Who Are Judy Malinowski Daughters?

Judy Malinowski has two daughters named Kaylyn and Madison Malinowski. They were dubbed “the colors of her heart” in Judy’s obituary published on Egan Ryan.

After Judy’s tragic death, Kaylyn and Madison established a foundation named after their mother to assist individuals and families suffering from domestic violence, drug abuse, and human trafficking. Not only does Judy’s Foundation support and be a resource for victims and their families, but they also hope to achieve nationwide awareness through social media resources such as books, seminars, videos, and documentaries. “At Judy’s Foundation, we want to promote healing and reconstruction in the natural family itself,” they wrote.

Furthermore, the Malinowski siblings were actively helping people like themselves to cope with the pain. They shared that what helped them best was always having someone to talk to. The sisters want other kids to not feel so alone.

“I’d say eventually we’ll get through this and it’s something that we that you can actually follow, like her legacy,” said Madison. “When people look at you they’ll be like, ‘Hey, that girl must be really tough like their mom.’”

Meet Kaylyn Malinowski, Judy Malinowski Older Daughter

Kaylyn Malinowski is Judy Malinowski’s older daughter. Many of us remember her from the time she testified before state lawmakers at the Ohio Statehouse to pass Judy’s law in 2017. 

“Since my mom is unable to speak, I am here to speak for her,” she said at the time. “While he got 11 years, my mom, my sister, and I all got a life sentence. It destroyed my life, my family’s life, my kid’s life, and everyone around us life, and the laws of justice are just not fair.”

Thankfully, her plea was heard and Judy’s law was imposed.

Now, she’s hoping to expand the law. Instead of six, she wants nine years to be tacked on to a sentence and she wants it to be applied to not just attackers who used an accelerant.

“I think that if there’s more like that laws are more broad, then people will be able to feel more comfortable reporting it,” she explained.
