Molly Widere Harker

Molly Widere Harker of St. Petersburg, FL was peacefully lifted up into Heaven on Wednesday, September 24, 2025 at the age of 60. Molly knew where she was going and clearly expressed that she had no fear, maintaining her wit and humor with all who were around her, and passed with dignity and grace, just as she lived her entire life.

Everyone that knows Molly most certainly describes her as being beautiful both inside and out, humble, kind-hearted, and always serving others with thoughtful and creative party planning, home visits, phone calls, baked goods, cards and in offering up prayers.

Molly was born on March 15, 1965 in St. Petersburg, FL to godly and loving parents, Gordon Jacob and Rita Ann Widere, and was preceded in death by them both.

Molly is survived by her loving husband Eddie List, beloved daughter Gretchen Lisa Harker (Cameron) and her siblings; Mary Ann Webster (George) Anne Helmuth, Catherine Lisa Widere, Rita Hopkins, John Widere (Michelle), Allison Arlitt (Mark), Jean Shakas (James), and Jacqueline Link (George), as well as her Uncle Joseph Widere, 7 nephews, 5 nieces and other family members.
