Parini; two precious great-grandchildren, Cora and Logan Walton; many nieces, nephews, and godchildren. Molly lived a long, fulfilling life centered around family and faith. She loved hosting parties, celebrating holidays, and doting on her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was always just a phone call away, ready to put on a pot of hot coffee and chat at the kitchen table. Her favorite pastimes were playing cards and dice and watching Westerns. She was a member of the American Legion Auxillary Post #207, Madame Curie Circle, PNA Lodge #3134, and Daughters of Isabella Bishop Noll Circle #359. Molly was a talented seamstress, and a fantastic cook. She was best known for her mock chicken, sweet bread, and homemade Polish dishes. She enjoyed crafting and crocheting with her lady friends. The family wishes to thank the memory care staff at Wittenberg Village and the Hospice of the Calumet Area for their patience, kindness, and compassion.
