Elizabeth Kelsey Molloy

Elizabeth, who went by Liz, was born December 15, 1994 in Wilmington, DE to Cindy and Stephen Molloy. The family moved to North Carolina when Liz was three. She was a Junior and an honors student at Millbrook High School this year with high hopes for the future to come. She was an after school counselor at the YMCA, as well as a participant in school clubs such as the lacrosse club, student government, and DECA. Liz excelled at everything she put her mind to and was going to the DECA State Competition this March. She also volunteered evenings downtown tutoring children at the Helping Hands center. Liz was looking forward to applying to the NC State Business Management program next fall.

One of Elizabeth’s greatest passions was helping others. Her volunteer work also extended to geriatric hospice care. She had a bleeding heart and an urge to aid if ever she was needed. This love also extended to animals and fostered her into being a vegetarian, with the exception of Buffalo wings (which until last year, was unaware were real chicken).

Liz was a fun-loving, caring, and one-of-a-kind individual. She loved the shore and frequently visited the Outerbanks with family and friends. Elizabeth enjoyed the luxury of the fine dining in the Molloy house at the hands of her mother, specifically anything involving shrimp (also discluded under her vegetarian rules). She supported the economy with her frequent shopping excursions and loved all things involving fashion. Liz always took pride in both her appearance and presence; she was the tall, blonde bombshell of the family. Her vibrant color palette was a mere extension of her vibrant personality and Lilly Pulitzer hit the nail on the head. One could often find her at North Ridge Country Club hitting the links and embarrassing the men around her as she drove the ball 300 yards. And as we were amused at their expense, Liz found laughter in everything, especially herself. There are countless memories of her nearly choking and gasping for air with her “silent” laugh. She lit up every room she walked into, and left the lights on. She loved spending time with her true friends and if one was lucky enough to be considered so, they had the most amazing friend in return.

Elizabeth is survived by her mother, Cindy; father, Stephen; step-father, George Apelian; younger brother, Jack; and older sister, Samantha.
