October 31, 1934 - March 25, 2018
Passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of March 25. Born to her parents Alex and Margaret Engardt in Omaha, Nebraska, Molly moved to Sacramento with her parents in 1937, where she attended Saint Francis High School (‘52) before moving on to Saint Joseph’s nursing program in San Francisco. While working as a surgical nurse, Molly was introduced to San Francisco firefighter Harry Mullin. The two were married in 1957, and returned to Sacramento in the late 1950’s to assist her father with the family’s roofing business (Alex Engardt Roofing) and to raise their two daughters. Over the next sixty years, Molly would go on to make lifelong friends in town, especially through her participation at Saint Mary’s and Sacred Heart parishes.
Molly was preceded in death by her husband Harry, and daughter Michelle. She is survived by her daughter Denise Lysaght (Tom), and grandchildren Michael (Colin) and Jennifer Lysaght.

The family would like to extend love and thanks to Akanise Vuanileba, Molly’s caregiver over the last seven years. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Front Street Animal Shelter or Shriner's Children's Hospital of Sacramento.
