Malia Ali

Malia Ali, born on 16 December, 1978, peacefully departed this life on 13 August, 2024 surrounded by family and friends. A devoted daughter, loving sister, and loyal friend, Malia was known for her deep love of the ocean and her belief that she was a mermaid at heart.

Malia was the beloved daughter of the late Kazim “Bunny” Ali and Peggy Farah, and stepdaughter of Ilia Farah. She was the proud granddaughter of the late Zaid and Shyroon Ali of The Globe Drive Inn, as well as the late Norma Hinkson, Gordon Croney and Highland Hinkson. The Ali family, uncles, aunts and cousins. The Croney family, uncles, aunts and cousins. Her nonbiological siblings, Shauna, Reynette, Rachel, Michelle, Nadja, Clint, and Craig, will forever cherish her memory. Malia also leaves behind a close-knit circle of friends, including Philip, Bud and Manoj, as well as countless others whose lives she touched.

An ardent animal lover, Malia was the devoted “mother” to her three dogs, Suki, Nacho, and Mooki. She was known for her compassionate heart, often caring for every stray animal that crossed her path.

Malia has left this world to swim in the eternal ocean, where her spirit will forever be at peace. She will be remembered for her unwavering love, her gentle soul, and her ability to find beauty and joy in even the simplest moments.

Malia said if you wear funeral colours or mourning attire you cannot attend. Aunty Peggy said to dress like we are going to a party but not in Malia’s length of skirt.

Her wishes are no flowers, but she would love if you would donate to Ocean Acres which will be done at Coral Ridge. The family requests privacy after the service.
