In loving memory of our beautiful Mom.

Molly was the youngest of eight children. She was a member of the girls Chisholm High School swim team. As an adult, she loved to swim at Lake Leander at frequent family picnics. A walleye fisherwoman, she kept up with her husband, Ray Sr. and the family to catch their limit on Lake Vermilion. She enjoyed polka music, dancing with her older sisters Anne and Fran at family weddings.

Molly & Ray volunteered for Meals on Wheels in the Virginia area. She was proud to help at the Servicemen’s Club in Virginia, serving meals & helping to make pasties. She was very well liked by everyone she met.
At her 100th birthday celebration Molly received the Key to the City of Virginia from Mayor Cuffe, in gratitude for her service.
She was a breast cancer survivor, a life-long walker, a skilled potica and bread maker, an avid Twins fan, a lover of laughter, chocolate and red wine.
