Molly was a wonderful wife, kind and loving mother, very outspoken, but with a heart of gold. She will be greatly missed by her family and many friends. The last few years of her life she lived at the Good Samaritan Home in Mott, where she received fine thoughtful care, and where she developed many new loving friends.
