Molly lived a full life and witnessed American history from the depression era to the millennium.  During WWII she desired to be Rosie the Riveter and go up north to work in the war factories.  However, her father required her to attend college instead where she found her love in home economics.  She touched so many lives with her caring spirit and desire to teach homemaking skills.  Her lessons will be remembered for generations across Greenup County.  Her greatest love was her family.  Molly and Pete dedicated themselves to making family memories and traditions. Her elegance and class were rare qualities that transcended time and change and will be carried through her family to future generations.
