Mary "Molly" Ocker

Born on December 8, 1952, in Johnson City, Molly was the beloved daughter of the late Mary and Charles Aldrich. She was also predeceased by her brother-in-law, Mike (Virginia).

Molly is survived by her devoted husband of 49 years, William; her sons, Bill (Bobbi Jo) and Christopher (Jessica); her cherished grandchildren — the lights of her life — Preston, Maddy, Harpur, Noah, and Issie; her sister, Ann (Edward); her brothers, Bill (Tracey) and Bob; and her brothers-in-law, Victor (Sandy), George (Lori), and Christopher (Kay). She leaves behind a large and loving family who will forever carry her memory in their hearts.

Molly worked as a beautician and proudly owned and operated her shop, Molly’s, for over 50 years. She loved her work deeply, building lasting friendships with clients who became like family. Her dedication to her craft was second only to the love she had for her family, whom she cherished above all else. Molly’s favorite hobbies were working in her yard, cooking, and spending time with her five grandchildren.

Her family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to all of Molly’s friends who reached out with love, support, and offers of help during this time. Your kindness and prayers have meant more than words can express — God bless you all.

Special gratitude is extended to the compassionate staff at Lourdes Guthrie Oncology, Lourdes Guthrie Hospice, and Mercy House of the Southern Tier for their exceptional care and comfort throughout the past several months.

At Molly’s request, there will be no calling hours or funeral services.
