With deep love and cherished memories, we celebrate the life of Molly Ross Naulty, who passed away peacefully on June 10, 2025. Born in Casper, Wyoming, on October 2, 1948, Molly was the beloved daughter of the late Charlie Leonard Ross and Anne Lorraine Priddy. Her childhood took her across various towns in New Mexico, where she developed a love of storytelling that would shape her life. She graduated from Grants High School, and soon after began a lifelong adventure in creativity and design.
Molly moved to Denver, Colorado, where she started a 44-year career in drafting and design. There her precision and creativity left a lasting impression.
A gifted writer, Molly wrote countless short stories in her youth and went on to author two fiction books—a testament to her passion for the written word. Her other great love was for automobiles, both classic and modern, a joy she often shared with friends and family.
Molly’s adventurous spirit took her across the world with travels to Europe and China. She also found magic closer to home—especially on road trips through the western United States, with California’s coastlines and deserts holding a special place in her heart.
She is survived by her devoted husband, David J. Naulty; her loving children, Jennifer Weiss, Patrick Naulty, and Andrea Pfannenstiel; her sister and best friend, Charlie Batchelor, her brother-in-law, William Batchelor; and her adoring grandchildren, Jacob Pfannenstiel, Jaspar Pfannenstiel, Brooks Weiss, and Ayla Weiss.
Molly’s legacy is one of warmth, exploration, and an unwavering love for the written word. May her stories continue to inspire, and may her memory be a blessing to those who knew her.
