"Had I known that was going to be my last time seeing you, I would've hugged you a little longer," she wrote in a heartfelt message to her fellow Clark Atlanta University alumni while paying her respects.
According to her obituary, Mallory grew up in Stone Mountain, Georgia. She appeared on the fourth season of Extreme Weight Loss, which aired on ABC in 2014, documenting her wellness journey for the world to see.
"It's so sad that she's gone because of who she was for so many, including myself," trainer-host Chris Powell, who worked with Mallory directly, told PEOPLE. "She was just an incredible person."
"She was so spunky right off the bat, and she just danced everywhere. She was always just enrolling everyone in her positivity," he fondly shared.
