Molly, along with Judy Skroch, Linda Dodd and I,  were the First Wives Club. We declared ourselves as such after watching  the movie of the same name. We realized that we needed the love and support of other women  who had experienced much of the same thing so we banded together to laugh, cry and help each other in a myriad of ways.  We celebrated birthdays, holidays and hundreds of meals together. We shared our individual friends with each other. We were like sisters to each other. I thank God for bringing  us together  and blessing us with each other. The rest of us will miss Molly's wit, laughter, playfulness, creativity and fun. She is one of a kind and the best of friends.


 

When I first started teaching at Ravenscroft in 1984, I was assigned to teach first grade.  Thank God I had Molly there to guide me.  She literally took me by the hand my first day there and led me to look for furniture in the attic and for materials and books in the book room.  Had it not been for Molly I may never have gotten my classroom set up.  Several years later, I had a particularly difficult class and I went to Molly one afternoon almost in tears, totally frustrated.  She comforted me, gave me some suggestions, and made me feel better.  The next morning when I looked on my desk, there was a box of SureJell with a note on it.  It was from Molly and said, "Keep your head up and smile.  Your class will gel and at the end of the year you will see the difference you have made."  I have kept that box of SureJell as a reminder that each class is different and that some classes are more difficult than others.  The difficult classes are the ones that just take a little more time to gel.  I just completed my 42nd  year in the classroom (not all at Ravenscroft as I left to go to the public schools in 2004).  I will always remember Molly as the person who guided me to become the very best teacher I possibly could be, even when I had the difficult class.  Thank you Molly!  I send to all the family my warmest regards and hope this memory of Molly makes you smile.  With love,  Grace Hancock

We were so sorry to hear of Molly's passing.  Her Celebration of Life service this morning was a wonderful tribute to her.

To Cathy, Sherri & Doug & family,
Molly was a precious school friend & wonderful teacher.  I treasure the many laughs & enjoyable trips the gals shared in her van.  One special trip to the mts. still brings me laughter fits . We brought home a small wooden chicken coop on top of the van. As we came down the mountainside, other travelers were passing us in stitches.  I’ll miss Molly!   Peg N. 

It was my privilege to teach with Molly at Ravenscroft. Her love of children and dedication to them were beautiful to see. Please accept my sympathy.

Sorry for your loss.  My mother-in-law, Doris White, taught with her at Ravenscroft.  Always enjoyed running into her at the Flea Market. Take care.

Blessings!

It was always a pleasure to talk with Molly. Her positive attitude and sense of humor were uplifting and made those around her smile. She will truly be missed! 

Fred and I are praying for your family as you prepare for the service.  We will be joining you in thought and prayer during that time.  God bless you now and as your prepare for the final good bye.  May many happy, fun celebrations with Molly pop into you mind from time to time, bringing smiles and even laughter.  
Molly will always live in my heart and mind.  Blessings, Fred and Barbara

Cathy and Sherry,
Larry and I would like to express our sincere sympathy for the loss of your mother.  We know Molly will be missed.  She was a special lady and we have many fond memories of her during her Fleas Market days.  I think of her as I look around my kitchen at all the sour cream glasses that she introduced me to.   Please know you’re in our prayers.  
Love and prayers 
Larry and Betty Smith
