She resided in Hudson her whole life and lived on McKinstry Place, where she had many friends and neighbors including, the Moores, Englekes, Merantes, Morrisons and LeChance family. She was an avid walker and enjoyed reading and bible study. Her two greatest gifts were an unbending faith in Jesus Christ and a god given ability to make and keep friends. Some of her closest friends included, Marylou Groll and her family as well as Barbara Ellsworth and her children; Jacqueline, Stephanie, Michael and Jennifer. Molly’s friends also included Jeannie Miller, Jeanette Wyant, Priscilla Moore, Ann Morrison and Pat and Sonny Smegoski.

A mass of Christian burial will commence at 10 am November 26, 2014 at St Mary’s Church on East Allen St In Hudson NY.
