Molly A. Zeitz

In loving tribute to Molly Zeitz, age 105, who was welcomed into our heavenly father’s kingdom on May 10th, 2022. Molly was born on October 26, 1916 in Euclid to Lucija (Gerl) and John Fabec. The family moved to Madison, Ohio in 1939. Molly married Harold Zeitz on July 20th, 1940 and raised her family in Euclid, Ohio. In 1970, Harold and Molly moved to Stuart Florida. They spent the next 20 years enjoying their grandchildren, golfing, RVing, cruising, and traveling abroad.

Molly was an active fan of the Cleveland Indians. She played all varieties of card games with her favorite being pinochle. She enjoyed playing cards well into her later years. In the early 70s she moved to Stuart, Florida where she continued her social activities including golf and entertained frequently. After Harold’s passing in 1997 she moved to Punta Gorda, Florida. She will be remembered as the “golden thread” and the tapestry of life. She bound together an endless array of family and friends over the years and gracefully touched the hearts and souls of those she met. She was a loving wife, a nurturing mother, a gracious hostess, and a wise counsel in any situation to anyone who was in need of those words. As a spiritually directed grandmother and great grandmother, she led her life in an exemplary fashion. Molly showed us how to live life abundantly while always remaining faithful to her core beliefs. Her devotion to Christ and the blessed virgin provided steadfast blessings throughout her days.

Molly was proceeded in death by her late husband Harold, who passed in 1997. She was the dear mother of Robert (daughter-in-law Gwen), Carol (Rich) Somerfeldt, and Philip (Janice); grandmother of Michelle (Michael) Gyure, Joseph (Jackie Belko), Cynthia (Eric) Towe, Cheryl Somerfeldt, Philip Zeitz, and Stephanie Zeitz; great grandmother of Hannah, Trevor and Cody Towe, Owen and Ada Wagner, and Avery Zeitz; and beloved sister to the late John Fabec, Lucille Gersin, Frank Fabec, and Elsie Drzik.
