Mrs. Courtney was such an inspiration to me. I would always find myself talking to  her throughout the day. Her wonderful and bright smile always made my day. She never was negative and always had a positive attitude. She was so open to listening to everything that happened in everyone's life. I will always remember how she always asked us how she could pray for us. She taught me how to love myself for who I am. She was so helpful through all of my ups and downs she was always there smiling and having the best attitude. She was such and wonderful person and I know I will see her again one day. Thank you Mrs. Courtney for all of the wonderful words of wisdom that you taught me. I will miss you so much. -elena:)

Molly was a classmate of mine at Trinity High School in Euless, TX. We were in Mrs. Jurma's Government class together. I also remember that she was easily the prettiest, and nicest girl in the class. Imagine my shock when a dorky guy like me with glasses AND braces was paired up with her for a class project. I felt like I was sitting next to an angel the whole time, and she was very smart, too. To the family of Molly, I am so sorry for your loss, but as a fellow believer in our Lord Jesus Christ, I am so glad to know that we will see her again one day, for all eternity. 1st Cor 15:55-58.

Growing up, Lauren and I were the best of friends. We would have frequent sleepovers at each other's houses, and were the silliest, giggliest little girls that ever could be. I'm sure we created quite a disturbance every time I spent the night at the Courtney house (ha!), but that never stopped Molly from warmly welcoming me into their home every time. She was the sweetest of moms. Even after we grew a little older and the silly sleepovers stopped, it was a joy seeing her more frequently when she started working at Bethesda. I continued to appreciate the warmth and hospitality I felt simply being in her presence. Molly will be greatly missed and her memories greatly cherished. I love you, Courtneys!

In1997, we moved from the South to Maryland. I remember a conversation with Molly about how I couldn’t find any Christian radio stations. A few short days later, I received a package with over 30 CDs of Christian artists from Molly and Robbie!  I called her in tears thanking them.  Always the givers. 
God bless you and minister to your needs until we all join our loved ones  “home”.

Love you all!

Molly and I met almost 21 years ago at Glenview Baptist Church as we were in the nursing room together taking care of our baby boys. She was one of my very first friends at the church and was so genuine and inviting, ALWAYS with a smile on her face! We grew our families together attending MOPS, church, camping trips, and carpooling together for many years to Bethesda Christian School. She truly was The kindest person I’ve ever met. But she was also funny! And a lot of fun to hang around, knowing how to make everyone feel special. Man I’m going to miss her! Although I had not spent a lot of time with her lately, I cherish her and the impact her friendship had on my life. And I’ve so enjoyed watching our boys grow up together over the years and cherish the friendship they have cultivated as well. Until we meet again, Molly....heaven definitely gained an angel!

Courtney family - I knew Molly two years and she had a big impact on my life in a time of transition. Without Molly I don’t know how my daughter Ashley and I would have adjusted to Bethesda. She was always there to answer questions and reassure us. Also, she knew I did not know anyone - and invited me to Keno. I now have a wonderful group of friends due to her thoughtful and friendship. ❤️

Molly was just the most gentle soul.  I never heard her say an unkind word about anyone, even when I knew she had good reason to.  She truly exemplified Christ in her love for others.  And she had the greatest smile!  I took a couple of pictures of Molly at a ladies retreat we did about 10 years ago and this is how I'll always remember Molly.  

I have been trying to think of a memory to share. I am having a problem picking. I can’t think of a time when I did not know Molly. We met in the nursery at FBC and starting in about 2nd grade the 3 amigos became inseparable (Liz Lee, Molly, and Beth).   The 3 of us (and later we added many more friends) had a very charmed childhood.  Barbie doll soap operas, month long Monopoly games, backyard zip lining,  sleep overs, Campfire Girls, Band, church youth group, choir tours and so much more!

If I have to pick just one memory, making pillowcase man costumes and waddling around the neighborhood with these pillowcases with faces on them over our heads tucked into our pants at our knees would be up there. (Mark waited up the tree at the Maxwell’s house to jump down and scare us!!!)

Molly and I attended Trinity High School together.  She was one of the most kind, warm young ladies I had the privilege of knowing.  Molly had a beautiful, loving smile.  No matter what was happening, if I saw Molly, and she smiled at me, I felt loved.  In high school, that is profoundly special. She loved Jesus and you could see it in her smile.  She had a peace about her that would draw you in and make you feel comfortable.  She had a warmth that I believe was from her knowing Christ as her savior.  I can’t wait to see her again. I know she is sitting at the feet of Jesus, with that gorgeous smile. 

Molly and I meet about 20 years ago.  I was invited to a Mary Kay party through a mutual friend.  I wasn’t able to attend so Molly invited me over to her house to have a one on one Mary Kay make over.  We became fast friends.  Even when I moved back to Minnesota for a few years we still remained close.  We talked often.  When we moved back to TX, Molly and I became even closer.  Molly even hosted a baby shower for me when I was pregnant with Evelyn.  I know it comes as no surprise that when I went through some health issues Molly was there for me.  She even watched Lily for me when I went to some dr appointments.  Molly and I went to Keno together for a few years.  We had regular lunches and talked and texted often.  Molly was such a gift to me.  She always listened to me and mentored me.  I love her dearly!  Truly I am the woman I am, the mother I am and the wife I am, because of her.  She encouraged me to join MOPS when Evelyn was born.  It is hard for me to put into words the profound impact Molly’s friendship has had on me.  I will be forever grateful that the Lord saw fit to have her in my life!  

Molly  and I met over 20 years ago when  Tim and I moved to Ft . Worth, TX from VA. at Glenview Baptist Church. 
Our families became friends and we co-taught a couples class with our husbands Robbie and Tim at Glenview Baptist Church. 

 So many specials memories it is hard to know what to share..I remember a phone call from Molly that she was so excited they were expecting 2nd baby .
Another memory of a fun make-up night ..when she needed someone to “practice “ with when she started selling Mary Kay. 
You also shared how much Lauren loved DBU. ( Both are sons are both attending that great school currently. )
The list goes on and on.
 You touched so many people Molly with your caring, tender spirit you showed kindness to all around you. Your smile was contagious and you loved Jesus most of all. ❤️

I grew up with Molly. I can’t remember not knowing her. One of my favorite memories of Molly is from 1986. Five friends, Molly, Gary, Susan, Buffy, and I, bought tickets to see Bryan Duncan at the Bronco Bowl. We arrived early and sat in our seats. We were in one of the upper sections and there was no one else in any of the upper sections, except one guy in the far left section. I nudged Gary and said, I think that's Bryan Duncan. He said, no way! Then Molly said why don't we go over there and see? If it's not him, we can walk by, and circle back. So we did, and sure enough, it was him. We stood there staring silently, and he asked, so, you know who I am? I said, we know who you are, but do you know who we are? He laughed and said let me see if I can guess your names. He correctly guessed Gary's, Susan’s and my name, but not Molly’s or Buffy’s. Then a person in the gathering crowd took a picture of us with Duncan using Molly’s camera. We chatted with him for a few minutes, and he asked if any of us had anything unusual about us that he might find interesting. Molly volunteered the fact that she had no cartilage in her nose. This interested him. He said he didn't believe her, so she said he could touch it to prove it. He did, and said said, "Oooh, weird!" Later, during the concert, he said he met some nice people before the concert and that one girl has no cartilage in her nose and you can smush her nose all over her face. Molly freaked out! I posted this story on Facebook about 5 years ago. Molly remembered the event, but not the details. This was her response: Molly: Too funny - I printed out the "story" so I can put it with the picture (same one) and next time I'll be able to tell the story. I was quite the spunky one back then - "let's go and see if that's BD" and "let me tell you about my weird nose". Molly was in fact spunky, and she was sweet, funloving, and unforgettable.

I was so thrilled to do the rehearsal dinner at First Baptist Euless for the wedding of Molly and Robbie. She was always such a special young lady.  I watched her grow up to an even more beautiful woman. She married her sweetheart and  loved being a Mom. Her precious smile was contagious and her hugs extra special 

I have so many fond memories of Sweet Molly that it’s hard to even know which ones to share. We met through MOPS when our boys were just little guys, and quickly became friends. Our friendship just continued to grow through our interactions at church and outside of church. 

Some  of my favorite memories were our “Minute to Win It” small group party, where we played crazy games, playing keno together regularly and just getting to spend time with her. Any time you got to be around Molly, you left feeling happier. She just made the world a better place. 

One of the funniest things I remember from Keno was when she brought a shirt as her gift that she was really wanting to buy, but didn’t have the money to spend on the shirt and on a keno gift. Her solution, buy the shirt AS the keno gift. She whispered her plan to me and I cracked up. Of course, our group was close friends, so I didn’t keep her plan to myself. We made sure she ended up with that shirt as her gift that night and all had a great laugh about it. Actually, we still do tell that story periodically at Keno and get another chuckle over it.

I am grateful beyond words to have been able to call myself her friend. After we left Glenview, we had several years where the busyness of life kept us apart, but she was the kind of friend that you could pick up right where you left off, and feel like no time had passed. 

Love you, sweet Molly! We will all do our very best to make sure that your precious family is loved and cared for. I’ll see you again someday!

I received a message from our former neighbor, Linda Duckworth, who lived here for a few years and was from Scotland. She & her husband have been back in Scotland for several years now, but she messaged me on Facebook this morning about our Sweet Molly. Here are her words:

Hi Michelle I read on FB that Molly had died. I have so many fond memories of her and felt the need to contact you. My Friday night Keeno spent with the amazing group of women Molly being one of them. She was such a welcoming, kind and beautiful person and I can picture her so clearly in my mind. My thoughts are with her family and her many friends. Linda xx

I'll never forget the day at school when Molly and I had lunch together in my classroom, just the two of us. We just hung out and talked and had a blessed time. I bought her a Whataburger Jr. meal because she said she really liked them, and I wanted to treat her for always being so kind and loving to me. Molly had a way of always making me feel accepted and appreciated. She always looked happy to see me when I'd walk in her office and would smile with that beautiful and infectious smile of hers.  The sound of her voice was always so gentle and kind. I'll certainly never forget the ways she supported me in prayer in some of my most trying times. She truly carried herself with grace and selflessness. I will sorely miss her until we are one day reunited in eternity. Thank you, Molly, for being such a beautiful light in this world and in my life. I love you.

During my senior year at Bethesda, I received an anonymous package in the mail. It was my first Tarleton State University shirt. I never ordered a TSU shirt so I asked my family about it but they were all just as surprised as I was. I ended up calling Tarleton and asking them for the name of the person on the billing address so I could thank them. They asked me if I knew a Mrs. Courtney and I was floored. I had forgotten the conversation we had shared a few weeks earlier.  
Mrs. Courtney was in charge of the computer during my French classes that year. She knew I had been accepted to attend Tarleton and asked me why I never wore my university shirt on Fridays like the other seniors. I told her that every penny I earned was going straight to paying for the class trip to France at the end of the school year. She seemed sad to hear that but was understanding of my reason. I hadn’t thought about it again until I found out she had sent me my first TSU shirt. 
I went to thank Mrs. Courtney the next day in class. She just smiled and told me that it didn’t seem right that  I was working as hard as I was to go on a trip but didn’t get to celebrate the school I would be attending in the fall. I still have that shirt and it means a lot to me. She gave me a chance to participate in a very simple but memorable senior tradition. I’m extremely grateful to her for that as well as her friendship. She was so kind and so sweet. Love you Mrs. Courtney! 

Me and Molly have known each other literally our whole lives! Grew up together going to the same schools, same church. Our youth group was pretty close so there were lots of great memories just hanging out at someone’s house playing games after Sunday night church, youth camp, and choir trips. But a few of my favorite memories are visiting Molly at Baylor for a weekend and meeting the love of her life, Robbie.  One Summer while we were home from college, we would ride around the neighborhood on Molly’s Moped. I’m pretty sure we spent less than $3 to fill it up with gas, talk about cheap fun!!
And then finally as adults just getting together for family dinners (Molly made chicken spaghetti for us one time and now that is my family’s favorite dinner!) or having our girls’ lunch in the summer. I loved catching up with lots of stories and lots of laughter!!!
Molly radiated the joy of Christ and was always smiling!!! She was always positive and upbeat and you just felt better after being around her. I cherish our friendship and can’t wait to see her and hug her neck in heaven!!
We love y’all so much!  ~Lanna

When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a  wonderful treasure to always hold in your heart.  I will always hold my precious memories of 16 years of friendship with my sweet Molly close to my heart.  We shared prayers, love, laughter, and tears but above all we shared a faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, because of that faith we will be forever friends.  Until we meet again....🦋

Several months ago, Tom and I brought Molly to our lake house just to rest and relax by the water We spent hours just talking and sharing,  I will always cherish that time with her.  In all the years I have known Molly, I never saw her in a bad mood, and I never heard her say one negative word.  She was an inspiration to me and to all who knew her.  Her beautiful spirit and infectious smile will be sorely missed.  

I met Molly 15 years ago when we joined Glenview Church. The day we met I knew she was a very special person.  Molly is the most genuine, caring, and selfless friend I have ever met. We were in a Home Team together where our friendship grew and we started becoming closer friends. We always had fun when all of us girls got together!  We did  things such as swim parties, cookie exchanges, going to the Silo in Waco, and celebrating each other’s birthdays. Her infectious smile and grace were always apparent every time I saw her.  I remember in one of my Bible Studies we were going around asking who in our life had been a big influence. Molly has been such a positive influence on my life that she was the person that I shared with the group. I will never forget my sweet, beautiful friend and she will always hold a very special place in my heart, but I know that she is in heaven, filled with joy and telling wonderful stories and celebrating life and I know I will see her again someday.


I never saw Molly without a smile.  We had so many good times together,  from skiing when the kids were little,  to a cruise and swimming with dolphins,  COLD water cave swimming in Cozumel,  Baylor/Cowboy games at the house, and beloved game nights,  where Robbie had us all laughing so hard we were crying.  She adored Robbie, as he did her, and it showed through their interaction.
She loved games and hated to miss a Keno night with the girls.  She was always fun loving whether it was a cruise scavenger hunt, where we ran around taking pictures with random people or waving to the car behind us(thinking it was Clint) as she was transferred from one hospital to another by ambulance.  Even in her condition, we laughed so hard when we figured out it wasn't him.   
She was a fierce problem solver.   She solved the puzzles quickly that we were supposed to solve even before getting into the escape room.   I solved nothing, in or out of the room.   😆  
A year ago,  Oct 2018, we went to Vegas and met Siegfried(from Siegfried and Roy).  We even ended up in Arizona while trying to go to the Hoover Dam. 😆  (that's not hard to do..but took us off guard). 
I am so glad we were able to go to NY last December.  She was at the beginning of her treatment and while she wasn't feeling great,  she was a trooper, never complained and didn't miss a beat.  I am SO grateful for my time with her.  She was an AMAZING person and through our faith in Christ we will meet again.  ❤❤❤ I love her deeply.

Molly was my friend and prayer partner. We got to know each other at Glenview Church in Radical Life Group, and our friendship continued past our time there. Molly was a constant source of encouragement to me, especially during my Mom’s prolonged illness. She would send me a text, or I’d get a card from her at just the right time, regardless of her own situation. But that was Molly and it makes me smile even now through the tears. And I’ll always be appreciative for her famous Taco Soup recipe!
Molly was also all about her family. She was so proud of Robbie, Lauren and Luke and they gave her much joy. I am richer for having known Molly and her family. 
See you again very soon, my friend.

My childhood was not one filled we ease, many days it was a struggle but one person who was ALWAYS there for me was Mrs. Courtney. She showed me daily kindness and gave me a safe place to talk or just take a breather.  She completely changed my outlook on life at a young age and without that I’m not sure what kind of person I would be. I’ve never seen a person embody Christ’s love more. I am beyond thankful that God allowed me to know Molly for as long as I did. 

I don’t remember a time that I didn’t know Molly. We were involved in the same church activities from the nursery (I think) through high school. I think it was our junior year when we went snow skiing with the youth group. Several of us girls had coughs and were taking cough meds that made us a little loopy. I can remember us dancing around our room in our 1 piece footie pajamas and giggling. Molly was so much fun! We lost touch for awhile but reconnected on Facebook. I am grateful for the texts and emails we shared as adults. I will forever miss my friend. Much love to Robbie, Lauren, and Luke. Praying for y’all.

Mrs. Courtney was an incredibly nice person. Every time I saw her in the hallway or the cafeteria at Bethesda she greeted me with, “Hey Zach how you doing!”.  Those are the only memories I have of her, and they’ve stuck with me because I knew everyday when I saw her I was going to see someone who was genuinely nice, friendly, and just all around a very sweet person.  It made my school days so much better!

I probably have 1000' s of amazing memories from over 40 years of friendship with Molly:) But some of my favorites are all of the times that we spent the night together as kids:) During those sleepovers, we watched movies, made up dance routines to goofy songs, did "gymnastics" in the yard, played tennis, sun bathed, did each other's makeup and hair, had popcorn at bedtime, had pancakes for breakfast, climbed her trees and climbed on the roof of her house, tried to memorize the Pac Man solution manual, and even sledded down the driveway on metal garbage can lids!! All of the world's problems were solved between the polka dot sheets on her bed as we talked into the wee hours of the night. That childhood friendship was a root that blossomed into a lifetime of love, laughs, tears, great times, hard times, joy, and pain- but ALWAYS laughter- lots and lots of laughter:) I hope that this walk down memory lane gives you a peek into the amazing woman that Molly was, even from childhood. I love you all and will, along with you, be forever grateful that God put Molly in my life in such a beautiful way.

Molly came into our lives over 30 years ago.  We loved her from the first day we met.  After she married Robbie, she became one of our close loving family.  We will cherish so many memories of time spent on holidays and having fun on the lake.  She gave us two wonderful gifts, Lauren and Luke.  Our hearts are broken, but our spirits are lifted knowing our sweet Molly is resting in the arms of our Savior and we will meet again.  ❤️❤️❤️❤️
