Mollie loved life and lived it to the fullest. Her favorite things to do included playing cards with her friend, Will Carr, and going to the "boat". She loved "winning" and rarely ever lost at the "boat"! Her greatest joys were her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and her precious pet, Katy.

The best way to remember "Granny" is by following her advice to "forgive people so you can keep on keeping on". The memory of her loving and charismatic nature will forever live on with those who knew her.
