A very special thanks to her nephew Acenscion Quintanilla Jr. and his son Craig Quintanilla for travelling all the way to Tucson to see her in April. She truly appreciated having family from back home around her. Each day we could see her improve. Bless you for bringing her such joy. Thanks to all the family for prayers and support.

Molly was a teacher’s aide at Kellond Elementary for 21 years. This wasn’t a job to her. She loved being a part of the lives of all her students and she loved all the friends she made throughout the years. All of you were very special to her.

Thank you Yolie for all your support and friendship. She loved cooking, baking and trying out recipe’s to take to school on “Goody” day. She made the best salsa, beans and tamales. She also loved her strawberries; the fruit, clothes, towels, knick-knacks, anything with a strawberry on it would bring a smile to her face.

She loved gardening. In lieu of flowers, we are requesting a live plant in order to make a memorial garden for her, at her home.

Services will be held at East Lawn Palms Mortuary on Saturday, June 28, 2014 at 5 o’clock PM. Reception to follow.
